Welcome to Sylvan Side! Charles & Margaret Inman built this understated folk Victorian farmhouse in 1895. A full width screened porch is the perfect spot to enjoy an evening cocktail or morning cup of tea. The double front doors open to a symmetrical floor plan. A wide entry hall offers… Read More access to the living room, dining room, kitchen, powder room & 1st floor primary suite. Extra tall windows in the dining & living rooms provide abundant sunlight in the morning & afternoon, while the south-facing porch offers shade during the middle of the day. The living room has a bay window facing the western yard & driveway, a cased opening into the remodeled kitchen & a pair of pocket doors. The kitchen was upgraded in 2016 with custom cabinetry, granite counters and S/S appliances. A painted hoosier chest pays homage to the vintage of the property. A bump-out off the kitchen provides the perfect spot for casual seating, since we all know that everyone gathers in the kitchen! There is ample room for a breakfast table as well. The mudroom and the laundry is conveniently located next to the kitchen. Out the rear door, there is another covered porch that has great views overlooking the stately trees, hydrangeas, rhododendrons and other specimen plants. Speaking of specimen plantings, wander around the grounds, and one will find many unique varieties of perennials, shrubs & trees. The current owners added a self-contained primary suite on the ground floor in 2007. One accesses it internally from just behind the staircase into a large & modern suite with a private bath that has a tiled shower, single sink vanity & toilet with a window overlooking the side yard. The bedroom itself is quite large, has a full wall closet and direct access to the rear patio that occupies the space between the kitchen & mudroom. The sellers also wanted to ensure that the exterior of this addition perfectly matched the original stucco of the 1895 house, & used an ''old-school'' craftsman to ensure the stucco mixture and finishing was nearly a perfect match. The original wood floors show all the patina of a life well lived over 131 years, yet remain in exceptional condition. On the second floor, there are four more bedrooms (one with another bay window) and a hall bath that was updated in 2006. A small sitting room over the entry hall provides supplemental closet storage & sufficient space to add a small desk should one want a little home office. In one of the bedrooms, you will find a full staircase to access the third floor. While this attic is currently unfinished, the ceiling height is significantly high enough and there are eight windows to provide great light into this attic space. The basement is unfinished, yet provides ample additional space for storage. The house has been wired to provide for temporary power via a portable generator. Now it's time to wander around the 1.5 acre property. The private patio is the perfect space to entertain all your family & friends. The perennial beds that surround the patio are just starting to flourish with hellebores, snowdrops, daffodils and other early blooming plants. Don't worry, there are ample blossoms to come that provide nearly four seasons of color, including the mature tree peonies filled with buds. Tucked towards the rear of the yard is a wonderful little cottage in the woods (heated) that the current owners installed in 2007! With a delightful front porch, this one room cottage is a perfect space for an artist's retreat, a meditation space or turn it into a delightful little library get-a-way. The original barn from 1895 is now a spacious 3-car garage. Via an exterior staircase, the 2nd floor of the barn was converted to a yoga space in 2008. This entire floor is fully insulated and heated, and a window A/C unit easily keeps this space cool in the summer months. So not only does one have the cottage for fun, the 2nd floor of the barn offers further options for one's creative pursuits. Read Less
