Pictured in the book ""The Old Village"", this noted home has long rested on the high hill of Bennett Street, arguably the best street in the Old Village. This home began in the 1830s as a ""single house"" of two rooms over two, flanked by a wide stair hall on the northern side and a piazza to capture the harbor breezes on the south. Over the years piazzas were added on the front and just a few years ago, the current owners obtained the services of Chris Rose, a noted local architect to assist in designing additional spaces for modern living, yet maintaining the charm and ambiance of the Old Village. The owner's ""eye for design"" and meticulous detailing are evident throughout the home and spill over into the yard where the owner expresses her talent as a master gardener. The addition which is slightly larger than the older portion has another stairwell for family privacy and convenience and also an elevator to the four bedrooms on the second floor. Utilizing the southern exposure for maximum natural light, the combined kitchen, keeping room, and family dining are relaxed and informal, yet elegant in its own way. Hardly ever has there been a home of this quality and perfection offered for purchase with this compelling and excellent pricing!
