Description
Step back in time with this stunning Queen Anne Victorian, built in 1896, and now your opportunity to own a cherished piece of Ridley Park history! As you approach, you're greeted by an inviting wraparound porch—perfect for relaxing mornings or lazy afternoons. Inside, the home blends old-world charm with modern updates. Enter the grand foyer, where original woodwork sets the stage. To the right, you'll find a cozy parlor, ideal for intimate gatherings. Beyond is the spacious family room, a welcoming hub for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen, complete with a pantry and dishwasher, opens to a generously sized mudroom, featuring a closet and access to the back porch—perfect for everyday convenience. A full bathroom and formal dining room also grace the first floor, where gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout, adding warmth and elegance. Head upstairs to discover a large landing flanked by two hall closets for extra storage. Four spacious bedrooms, all with ceiling fans and carpeting, offer comfort and tranquility. One of the bedrooms on this floor can be used as either the 7th bedroom or a potential walk in closet as it’s attached to the primary/laundry. A full bath, an additional washer/dryer hookup, and a large walk-in closet complete the second floor. The third floor is a true hidden gem with three more bedrooms, including one that boasts a Juliet balcony—your personal escape to enjoy peaceful views. The third bedroom, currently used as an office, features a unique widow’s peak balcony, adding to the home’s timeless character. This home has been thoughtfully updated with newer fish-scale vinyl siding, a stone exterior, and a roof with lifetime shingles. With over 45 newer windows allowing natural light to fill every room, you'll also find an original stained glass window as a nod to the past. Enjoy modern comforts like forced central air and gas heat controlled by Google Nest, and feel confident with recent upgrades including a new electrical panel (2018), chimney liner (2021), water heater, and refrigerator. Situated on a generous lot with both front and back porches, this home offers plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Plus, it’s walking distance to the train station, town center, and just across the street from a park. With quick access to I-95 and 476, commuting is a breeze. This Victorian beauty has stood the test of time and is ready to embrace the next century with its new owner. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of history with modern comforts in Ridley Park!
