6BR/4BA
Everything about this 13-room circa 1908 Victorian is grand: the house itself (13 rooms, most extra-large); the property (almost half an acre); and the garage (room for four cars and enough space to “build your own boat”), just for starters. The nicely appointed property, a new listing, retains much of its grandeur and has attractive modern details, too. A large wraparound porch, high ceilings and multiple fireplaces are among the period attributes. An updated kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and new bathrooms are among the many upgrades. The house was renovated in 2002. There’s also a finished, walkout basement and deck, but no central air. Open house 2 to 4 p.m.
