About the Home

Exquisitely renovated 1780's treasure in the prestigious South Compo neighborhood! The current owners took the house down to the studs in 2007 and spared no expense completing an outstanding restoration. Whilst striving to preserve the historic character and authenticity of the house there were many upscale improvements made both cosmetically and structurally including installation of white oak floorboards throughout all 3 floors, new copper and cedar roofs, copper gutters, new thermopane windows, installation of built in audio system, new kitchen with cherry cabinets, reinforcement and exposure of the original chestnut beams throughout and restoration of the brick built fireplaces. The main floor has a super open flow from kitchen to dining area to family room and natural light abounds through the many over-sized windows and wall of French doors - opening to the gorgeous blue stone patio. A stylish library with custom cabinetry and formal living room will inspire both relaxation and gracious entertaining. Three bedrooms, including the pretty en suite master and additional full bath grace the 2nd floor and the finished 3rd floor adds terrific bonus space comprising another bedroom, full bath and den. Enjoy the convenience of natural gas, a high efficiency boiler and central air. And adding to the appeal of this fabulous property is the wonderful red clay tennis court for outdoor fun! This house, located so conveniently to train, beach and downtown will be sure to wow you!
