Beautifully sited on a quarter-acre in Historic Park Hill, this stunning fieldstone and shingle 1899 Victorian is an elegant and architecturally enchanting home with its circular porch, graceful turret and candle-snuffer roof. Wide bluestone steps welcome you into the sunlit stair hall with original stained-glass windows. The living room is amazing with a gorgeous beamed ceiling with elaborate double crown molding and the curved tower alcove. Beautiful unique antique windows and the woodburning fireplace enhance the high ceilings and gleaming oak floor. French doors lead into the formal dining room with its bay of windows.Then you step out of the formal part of the house into a space designed for every day living. Enormous home office space big enough for two...or three! Amazing kitchen with oak cabinetry with champagne finish, granite countertops with tile backsplash, beautiful center island with breakfast bar, a casual eating area big enough for a crowd of family and friends, tons of storage space with two pantries and a comfy window seat under the picture window looking out over the yard. Steps from the kitchen is the fabulous family room with two walls of windows and a full bath that's been totally renovated, a perfect layout for today's busy lifestyle and plenty of room to hang out on the main floor which is quite rare in an older home.The second floor is a bright airy space with natural light streaming in unobstructed by any neighboring homes on three sides. The master bedroom has its own fireplace and an adjoining sitting room or nursery, the second level of the curved tower. The four additional bedrooms are very spacious; a full and a half-bath complete this floor. Lots of closets (unusual for a Victorian) and ceiling fans in every bedroom. There's also a walk-up attic with three great storage rooms and plumbing for a future bath.Plenty of options to enjoy the outdoors as well...French doors in the kitchen open to an expansive decked patio, perfect for summer BBQ's and outdoor dining. The level yard is ideal for lawn games or sports activities and the wraparound porch offers front row seats that face sunsets over the Palisades.This remarkable home has been restored/renovated with love and creativity artfully combining a magnificent blend of old and new.

A home should be your haven, your happy place. It mingles with its surroundings, tempting you to step outside from within and then beckoning you back inside. Is this the home that will win your heart?
