Property Description
A stately brick façade welcomes you into a grand foyer where exquisite carved woodwork, original moldings, soaring ceilings, beautifully preserved hardwood floors, and stunning marble fireplace mantels showcase the craftsmanship that defines Bolton Hill. The signature perpendicular staircase, anchored by its original newel post and turned spindles, rises to a third floor skylight, filling the home with natural light. Decorative plaster ceilings, oversized windows, and gracious room proportions reflect the enduring quality of nineteenth century design.
Designed for entertaining, the main level offers elegant formal spaces that flow seamlessly together. The living room features an ornate marble mantel, decorative plaster ceiling, and oversized windows. A modern Butler's pantry with a fully equipped galley kitchen connects the living and dining rooms, creating the perfect hub for serving meals and gathering with guests. At the rear, the extra wide dining room features a bay window, another original marble fireplace mantel, and abundant space for dinner parties and holiday celebrations. A powder room completes the main level.
The second floor is dedicated to comfortable everyday living. The spacious primary suite features a renovated spa inspired bath with a soaking tub, oversized walk in shower, and double vanity. At the rear, a second oversized ensuite bedroom with its own attached full bath offers exceptional flexibility as a guest suite, family room, library, media room, or home office. An original rear staircase provides convenient access to the upper level while preserving the home's historic character.
The third floor offers a spacious front bedroom with an adjoining room ideal as a dressing room, office, nursery, or studio, along with two comfortable rear bedrooms perfect for guests, children, home offices, or hobby rooms. A renovated hall bath serves the upper level.
