Stunning Historic 3-level townhome in the heart of the city! Previously owned by Mary K. Longfellow, niece of Henry W. Longfellow, this building underwent extensive renovations in 2012. The current steward, of nearly 14 years, has maintained this gem with meticulous care and grace. Greeted by a beautiful stairway, you'll be pulled toward the French doors that open into the large living room with high decorative ceilings, flowing seamlessly into the dining room with custom illuminated built-ins and a new gas fireplace. The kitchen is particularly fun and inviting, featuring storage extending nearly from floor to ceiling, and a sweet half bath for convenience--all found on the first floor. The staircase banister guides you upstairs to find two bedrooms; one large enough to accommodate an office and workout space, the other a charming office/bedroom/study with built-ins. A lovely bath and a long hallway lined with built-ins complete the second floor. Continue to the third floor and delight in the show-stopping primary suite situated on its own private level, featuring luxurious exposed brick and beams, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, walk-in closet, and additional space for a sitting area or private retreat--your own sanctuary above it all. You will be swept away by this home's period charm and thoughtful details, including built-in cabinetry, high ceilings, light pine floors, and custom period trim. This townhome lives like a single-family home with the benefits of being part of a well-run association. The ample shared yard offers enviable green space in the middle of the city. Step outside your door and stroll through the historic West End, or head downtown to satisfy whatever your palate is craving at one of the many nearby eateries. A truly walkable location!
