A Turn-of-the-Century Colonial Revival in the Broad Street Historic District!
Built in 1895, this Broad Street residence reflects the quiet confidence of late-19th-century domestic architecture—substantial in scale, rich in detail, and carefully maintained rather than reimagined. The home has benefited from updates over time, but its original architectural language remains intact, allowing age and craftsmanship to remain visible and honest.
A wraparound porch introduces the house as it was meant to be approached—slowly. Inside, the grand foyer with 9-foot ceilings establishes vertical space and proportion immediately. Original hardwood floors and a living-room fireplace anchor the main level, while the dining room stands out as a fully realized formal space rather than an afterthought.
The kitchen has been newly updated with restraint: Corian countertops, a butcher-block island, two pantries, and cabinetry designed for long-term use rather than trend. A screened porch extends the kitchen outward, reinforcing the house’s original connection to light and air.
The second floor is centered by a dramatic two-story stained-glass window, an architectural feature that would be impractical to recreate today. Bedrooms are generously scaled, consistent with the period, and the remodeled bath pairs a clawfoot tub with a stall shower and herringbone tile—an appropriate nod to the home’s age without imitation. Built-ins and storage line the hallway, reflecting an era when storage was integrated into architecture, not added later.
A flexible upper-level arrangement allows for a potential in-law suite, with additional living space, a bedroom, cabinetry, and a fully renovated bath. Above, the attic provides storage and access to a widow’s walk—a rare surviving feature that reinforces the home’s historic character.
The lower level includes a full laundry room, workshop space, an additional family room with wet bar, and a half bath—functional spaces that support everyday living without encroaching on the historic rooms above.
Outside, the grounds are deliberately composed rather than overstyled. Gardens are supported by thoughtful outdoor lighting, a potting shed with heat, counters, and its own porch, and a one-car garage with side storage. The wraparound porch includes custom shades, allowing it to remain usable throughout the day.
This is a house that has not been rushed, stripped, or overwritten—only maintained with care and understanding.
