PROS
- Restored 1905 Gambrel Shingle-Style home with original character, including a wood-burning fireplace with original Chelsea tile.
- Custom kitchen with Thermador appliances, quartzite counters, tiled walls, and a walk-in butler’s pantry.
- Flexible upper-level layout, including a third-floor retreat with two bedrooms, skylit bath, and peek-a-boo city views.
- Multiple outdoor spaces: wraparound porch, sunny backyard, and garage-top patio.
- Modern comfort features listed, including central air conditioning and a tankless water heater.
CONS
- Older 1905 construction warrants careful inspection of structure, systems, roof, insulation, and long-term maintenance needs.
- Only one garage space is listed, and the parking field is otherwise blank, so total parking capacity should be confirmed.
- Lot size data appears inconsistent: the field says 4,133 acres while the separate lot size value reads 4,133.0, likely requiring verification.
- “Style” is listed as “Other” despite the description calling it a Gambrel Shingle-Style home; buyers should confirm architectural and permit details.
- The description uses strong renovation language, but buyers should verify the extent, dates, permits, and warranties for completed work.
