Listed in the last month, this 12-room Victorian has lots of charm, many upgrades and doesn’t feel “old.” Located in the Montrose district, the circa 1896 house (renovated in 2010) has an updated kitchen, an architecturally interesting front entry, numerous fireplaces (one is in the kitchen), pocket doors, leaded glass windows and “working bell service” from the house’s servant days. Outdoor living space is plentiful. There is gazebo front porch with a swing, a lemonade porch and a two-tiered patio with a hot tub. And, there is an unfinished basement and a two-car detached garage with loft storage. Open 1 to 4 p.m.

It was his carriage & stable house.
