60 Pine Street

One glance at the cheerfully painted wraparound porch and its clear this 1889 Victorian is something special, but only after a full tour of all three levels and a walk around the yard do you realize just how exceptional it really is. Behind the 2-car garage, a flower-ringed lawn presents coveted space for gardening, playing or just savoring a bit of peace and quiet in the most sought-after neighborhood in town. The interior is brimming with vintage charm and a rear expansion means theres no lack of functional space. Built-ins abound in the living room and paneled storage lines the dining room. A side entrance hall with Dutch door provides easy access to the eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a butcher block island and a second sink serving a handy coffee bar. The family room is an enveloping retreat for the avid reader or collector, as floor-to-ceiling shelves proudly display treasured finds and a working fireplace adds evening ambiance. By day, a wall of French doors ushers in light and gives way to a tiered stone patio. Be sure to peek in at the cleverly designed powder room before heading upstairs, where four bedrooms and an office share two tiled bathrooms. Some may choose to use the trio of spaces atop the back staircase as a full-service, closet-lined main suite with the laundry right at arms reach. Perhaps the best surprise of all is the skylit, top floor office/studio and a catwalk library that peers down over the sidewalk below. This is the quintessential Tree Streets charmer, only better!
