About this home
Discover timeless elegance in this 1883 Victorian residence in the historic Sherman Hill neighborhood. Placed on a new foundation in 2006, this four-bedroom, three-bath home beautifully marries classic architectural charm with modern updates. The home’s original exterior details have been preserved, showcasing its ornate front porch, tall windows, and historically inspired paint palette. Inside, virtually every element has been renovated, including the foundation, roof, plumbing, insulation, drywall, electrical systems, kitchen, and bathrooms—all completed in 2007. Upon entry, you see a stunning two-story foyer featuring abundant natural light, a striking staircase, and original wood floors. Douglas fir trim and doors further enhance the home’s historic character. Two vintage-style gas fireplaces provide inviting spaces for relaxation and gathering. The spacious kitchen is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with a fireplace, a large en-suite bath, and an abundance of natural light. The second level also includes two additional bedrooms, a convenient laundry area, and a beautifully finished bathroom. The finished lower level has a theater room, a fourth bedroom with egress window, and plumbing for a future fourth bathroom. Additional features include a two-car garage and a charming yard enclosed by an ornate black iron fence. Contact your agent today to schedule a tour of this remarkable Sherman Hill property....
