Property Description

A Cornhill Gem! Distinctive architectural character defines this beautifully designed 2-3 bedroom townhome, cherished by the same owner for 30 years. Soaring 9-foot ceilings and four tall living room windows frame serene views of Ralph Avery Mall from the welcoming front porch - a truly unique setting in historic Corn Hill. The home reflects a Craftsman cottage aesthetic throughout, showcasing wide flat moldings, taller baseboards, and projecting cap door casings. Kitchen and bath cabinetry are crafted in a timeless Shaker style that complements the home's architectural character. Underfoot, oak hardwood floors anchor the kitchen while handcrafted hickory hardwood flows through the living and dining rooms, accented by a gas fireplace with a dry-stack ledgestone surround and a substantial hickory mantle. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms are joined by an open room ideal as a third bedroom, family room, or study. The lower level offers a finished basement - perfect for a home office or recreation room. Too many extras to list here - see attachments for the full scope of updates and improvements. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind Corn Hill treasure.
