154 PROSPECT STREET — $769,000, sold

Extremely rare, all-brick century home with wondrous, preserved features set amongst upgrades such as windows, (slightly dated) kitchen, powder room, washroom, plaster restoration, forced air gas furnaces and central air condition, plus interim roof repairs to allow you to live comfortably and plan some updates. The ceilings sore to 10', panelling and pocket doors retain an original patina and knobs and hardware are unpainted! Delight in the heritage light fixtures connected to upgraded wiring.

Grand rooms with high ceilings throughout this home; the kitchen has a keeping room with sweeping sunset views over the ravine. A more practical entrance to a mudroom/laundry off the drive and across from a large outdoor storage shed keeps all the messy bits out of sight. A practice design for a big, busy family.

Come in from a restored front porch through a new glass storm door protecting the original entry door and be greeted by a massive foyer with original paneling, impressive newel post, oak railing, diagonal quarter-drawn oak flooring. An arched plaster inset overlooks the  quarter space landing and second floor mezzanine. Very grand indeed!

This home is a must-see affordable blessing for families bursting at the seams that are bored by bland boxes and generic features.  A feast for the eyes and soul.
