n abundance of charm greets the visitor to this 2,700-square-foot Colonial Craftsman home in Eastport. With its rich, blue shingle shake, red roof, and white window trim, this residence has an historic and patriotic presence.
“There’s something magical about the charm this 1901 built home conveyed,” says Listing Agent Wendy Oliver. “Walls of memories, beautiful original features, and walls of lightfilled windows. This truly was one of my favorites.” A nostalgic, double screen door opens onto a gracious front porch, perfect for a late-day summer cocktail and people-watching.
Inside, the home is steeped in pre-war features, like its original hardwood floors, large archways, and lovely period woodwork. Straight- away down a short hall is the home’s gorgeous, architectural staircase. To the left there’s a light, bright, and airy living room, which flows into an equally bright dining room through a large arch, giving the space the feel of an open-plan concept. The dining room proceeds past an attractive and convenient wet bar area, and then into the kitchen, with its elements of exposed, white-washed brick. The kitchen boasts attractive caramel-colored ceramic tiled floors, crown molding, a tray ceiling, a peninsula with breakfast bar seating, and all stainless-steel appliances, including a gas range.
