Wonderful TOWER HILL home - so much history here! As you enter the home please admire the double door entry with period door knobs and gorgeous hinges. To the right is the living room with a decorative mantle over the gas fireplace and to the left is the first floor bedroom with its window nook and an updated private luxurious bathroom with separate shower and tub. The formal dining room is accented by a decorative marble fireplace, and has back stairs to the second floor. There is an unheated sun/mud room to the left with a door to the exterior, and to the right of the dining room is a family room/office . To the rear of the dining room is the amazing kitchen. This Chef's kitchen was actually designed by a real chef! Soft close, dove tailed cabinets including a deep pot drawer, high grade granite, wainscoting bead board, toe lights, gorgeous wood flooring that is new but looks like the period, beautiful lighting, under counter outlets on island, all new SS appliances, a pot filler faucet, a lazy susan, floating shelves with dimmable lighting, subway tile backsplash, recessed ceiling lighting, multiple pantry areas, and an under window sliding table with chairs included. There is a mounted TV for above the laundry doors at end of kitchen (washer, dryer and TV included). A pocket door is between the kitchen and the 2 pantries on the south side of the kitchen as you approach the Great room. (Part of the history of this home is that this area was once part of a Jelly factory!) The large great room has a wet bar in an alcove with butcher block, cabinets and an under-counter wine cooler. French doors lead to the back porch. This area has a European style separate natural gas heating free-standing unit and is the only part of the home with a window air conditioner. (The remainder of the home is all on 2 zones of central air conditioning.) Upstairs has a "coffee bar area" at the top of the stairs and there are 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a living room area, full kitchen and a 2nd laundry. The front right bedroom has a decorative fireplace and walk in cedar closet. The small bedroom behind the front left bedroom was originally designed as a nursery as there is a doorway between these two rooms. (The home was set up to accommodate a completely separate living space for someone by separating the back bedroom by deadbolt from the other 3 rooms and bath, and opening it to the living/dining space complete with laundry, kitchen and the 2nd bath. It has its own entrance with a small porch accessed off Coover St - please see the floor plans. Post office has been delivering mail to the separate 4 Coover St address) There are two doors on the 2nd floor that lead to large flat roof areas suitable for 'deck/balcony space' but there is no railing, so please do not approach the edge and NO children may pass through the doors onto those areas. There is actually a picnic table on the one roof! On the 3rd floor is another area that the owners call the "teen space" - there is a bedroom, kitchenette and half bath with sloped roof lines. It of course could be used for anyone. There is also storage at the front of the attic. The heating and central air is 2 zones. There is a huge basement. Square footage is estimated using the floor plans provided: the attic sq footage is used at 1/2 actual floor space due to ceiling height and this does not include the storage area. Please calculate using your own numbers. This is the perfect multi-generational home. PRE-APPROVED BUYERS only please!
