Property Description

Proudly presenting Du Monde of 1912, a Stickley-era craftsman that is richly appointed in surviving originality throughout her historic interior. The home's extensive oak millwork rivals the very best examples from the period: her spec is of true wishlist stature.Scarcities abound from Du Monde's sprawling front porch, to her formal transom & sidelight entry, to her vertical-milled, quartersawn banister. Entering the living room, one is greeted by a stem-to-stern glass-fronted bookcase with custom milled doors, and a pair of west-facing casement windows.Du Monde is an entertainer's delight as her kitchen and dining room are of a grand scale; well lit with original windows surrounding her gathering spaces, the interior is bathed in long light no matter the season. Nine-foot ceilings throughout the main floor lend graceful proportion to the home.Remarkably Du Monde's surviving birch shaker cabinetry remains intact in their 114th year, a testament to good design and a solid build spec. Our craft trades added a paneled dishwasher, counter-depth fridge & custom violet tile backsplashes to ensure this stoic interior performs for her next steward.Du Monde is a mood thanks to a complete and curated vintage lighting fixture scope. The upper bath is freshly restored with refinished birch hardwoods and a coordinated paper and paint scheme. The attic is foamed, ready for your expansion plans; and the basement is functional with a captain's washroom in a 70s motif. Du Monde's easterly sun porch is wrapped in beadboard and lap siding, and overlooks an expansive 127' of green space ? room enough for an urban farm!Showings begin next Wednesday following an open house.
