This distinguished circa 1840 stucco-over-stone Victorian Manor, set on 2.3 private acres, including 907 Florence Lane, offers picturesque views and comprehensive modern updates. The Southern-facing porch with meticulously restored gingerbread details provides a welcoming entry overlooking native gardens. Inside, find deep-set window sills, original random-width, old-growth hardwood flooring, and beautifully preserved period millwork. The updated kitchen features an exposed stone wall, a vaulted, exposed-beam ceiling with skylights, custom Cherry WoodMode cabinetry, granite countertops, and a central island. A breakfast nook opens to a private patio for relaxed mornings or al fresco dining. Ample pantry storage and an adjacent mudroom/laundry with a powder room add convenience. The living room includes a wood-burning fireplace. A double-sided gas fireplace connects to the family room and the dining room. This expansive space, featuring Palladian doors and windows, extends to an elevated mahogany deck overlooking the private heated pool. The primary suite features an en-suite marble bathroom with dual vanity, claw-foot tub, and frameless glass shower. Two additional second-floor bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath with a whirlpool tub. High-efficiency, period-correct custom windows allow abundant natural light. The 2005 third floor addition by Hanson Fine Building and Restoration, comprises two large bedrooms. These rooms feature custom reproduction millwork designed to complement the original details, energy-efficient windows, and a shared full bathroom.
