Stunning Queen Anne Victorian built in the late 1800's. Located on beautiful Princeton Avenue. This painted lady was originally built by Joseph Birch who at one time owned a hats, coats, and furnishings store on Westminster St. Having fallen into disrepair, the current owners brought it back to it's former glory. The mechanicals are all new, the roof is 5 years old, the exterior has completely been restored. This beauty has such a great floor plan... The large, light-filled rooms each have a unique colored glass window motif, there are parquet floors throughout. There are two lovely mantel pieces and plenty of other original detail. There is also an incredible and private guest space on the 3rd floor. The yard is over-sized and a generous 5,200 sqft. Plenty of space for a gardening. If you are a garage person, this house has that too.
