Tucked into the heart of desirable Old North, this one-of-a-kind Victorian feels like a private cottage retreat in the city. Rich in character, artistry and meticulous custom craftsmanship, every inch of this home tells a story. Warm, inviting and wonderfully airy, the interior blends soaring spaces with cozy charm, featuring wide pine plank floors, extensive wainscoting, exposed beams, custom built-ins, California shutters and power shades throughout. A dramatic two-storey living room anchors the home with stunning architectural detail and a beautiful new gas fireplace (2025), replacing the original wood-burning hearth. The bright eat-in kitchen offers timeless white cabinetry, slate counters, stainless appliances, gas cooktop and wall oven, perfectly positioned for everyday living and entertaining alike. A spacious bedroom and convenient 2-piece bath add comfort and flexibility to the main floor layout, ideal for family & guests. At the rear of the home, the tongue-and-groove pine Great Room is a true showpiece, enhanced with new LED pot lighting and electric fireplace, all overlooking the lush backyard. A striking wood staircase with gorgeous custom leaded glass built-ins leads to the upper level, where an open loft area with exposed beams offers the perfect home office, den or creative retreat. Beyond, the primary suite is a true sanctuary with built-in cabinetry, lounge area, dressing room and an updated 3pc ensuite with oversized shower, new vanity and heat lamp. The fully fenced backyard includes multiple sitting areas, a soothing fountain, a two-tiered deck and mature landscaping that creates an incredibly private outdoor escape. Detached single garage & ample parking complete this exceptional property. Other recent updates include new furnace & A/C (2025), all new eavestroughs with gutter guards, gas line for BBQ, owned water heater, central vac and numerous thoughtful improvements throughout.
