Built in 1918 in the heart of East Hill, this custom Craftsman blends preserved architecture with extensive modern upgrades. A full-width front porch stretches across the façade, large enough for multiple seating areas. An equally large covered back porch provides a great gathering space. Inside, custom doors open to oak floors, interior masonry details, and substantial 8" maple crown molding that frames each room. The main house offers 3 large bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The first-floor primary suite is privately positioned and includes a custom maple closet designed with shelving and storage for an extensive wardrobe. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms each with their own baths, provide separation for guests or family. The kitchen centers around a 50-square-foot leathered granite island with room for seating and prep. Viking appliances line the perimeter, and a tucked-away office or oversized pantry keeps daily clutter out of sight. Just off the rear entry, a mudroom includes its own prep sink and half bath—practical after yard work or hosting on the back porch. New paver paths around the property add to its elegance. Copper gutters and downspouts frame the exterior, and the metal roof is nearly new. Ironwork by Richard Parker, woodwork by Dillweed Custom Wood, and hand-blown glass fixtures by Joe Hobbs were selected specifically for this renovation. Parking accommodates 6 vehicles onsite plus 4 streetside. There is dedicated boat/RV parking with sewer hookup and 50-amp service. Behind the main house sits a 600 sq ft 1 bed/1 bath guest house, fully functional and ready for cosmetic updates. Depending on your plans—guest quarters, studio space, or short-term rental. Renovations to the main house are complete, preserving the architectural integrity of 1918 while updating the systems and finishes for today’s use.
