Spacious, Historical, Magical, Designer Home, Prime Walkable Village Location!

All the charm of yesteryear with the comfort of the 21st century! Experience the age of "the Rusticators" - the wealthy settlers of the early 1900's in this 1904 Victorian rumored to be built by J.P. Morgan for his mistress (he kept several, leading to the nickname for the street as "Mistress Row"!) Owned by architects/interior designers for the past 25+ years, the house greets you with charm and style in every space. Grand columned entry porch/veranda with ample space to sit, sip and people watch, English garden, delightful outdoor dining area with gas grill. Well appointed spacious and charming rooms, old world (but updated!) kitchen with bells and whistles, sunny breakfast room, copper-sinked butler's pantry/bar with wine cooler, expansive foyer with decorative fireplace, comfortable and tranquil living room, dining room for 10 with additional cozy sitting area, family room/home theater with fold out English sofa, 3/4 first floor bathroom. Two different stairs lead to four bedrooms, including a newly redecorated master suite (king bed), another spacious bedroom with a king bed, one with a queen bed (newly decorated and upgraded), and one with two twins. There is an additional queen bed suite (with full bath) on the third floor as well as a generous laundry room. Coveted village location - quiet and enjoyable, but a stone's throw to all the activities you can imagine. You can walk everywhere!

All check-ins are self-check-ins. The home is spacious and the yard is completely private, with several private entrances. The location is quiet, walkable to all of downtown and the shore, and it easy to get to the Park and to other areas of interest.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.
