Property Description

Originally designed by acclaimed architect Edward Bassford in 1890, this extraordinary Victorian-era residence is available for the first time in nearly three decades! Deeply loved and artfully stewarded, the home has been carefully updated while preserving a rare aesthetic sensibility that blends turn of the century English Manor elegance with layers of Mid-century, Bohemian, and Parisian charm.Set in the heart of historic Ramsey Hill, the home offers easy access to beloved shops, restaurants, cafés, and parks, while feeling quietly tucked away in its own romantic world.Maintaining its inspired original layout and remarkable woodwork, the main floor offers exceptional livability with a beautiful balance of formal and informal gathering spaces. The second level holds spacious, light-filled bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite that lives like a private retreat, complete with a separate lounge, decadent spa-like bath, and two walk-in closets.The finished third floor and lower level offer expanded living and exceptional flexibility: room for guests, a home gym, creative spaces, multigenerational living, or potential supplemental rental income.The magic continues outdoors. A dreamy screened porch overlooks the fully fenced yard, lush with mature landscaping, a storybook sunken patio with water sculpture, and even a private bocce court.Rarely does a home with this level of architectural integrity, soul, and creative energy come to market. Now seeking its next stewards. Schedule your showing today!
