Property Description
With its timeless charm and thoughtful updates, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath Victorian-style home is a true standout on Atlantic Avenue—one of the most desirable streets in town. Built in 1887 by Minnie Arey Smith, the home has been lovingly maintained and carefully updated by the current owners in honor of its historic legacy.
Original features remain throughout, including hardwood floors, stained glass windows, gable pediment, and intricate carpenter Gothic gingerbread trim—each thoughtfully restored to preserve the home's classic character. Modern updates blend effortlessly with these details, offering comfort, style, and functionality.
The first floor features a renovated kitchen with custom cabinetry, soapstone counter tops, high-end appliances, and a butcher block center island. A full bath, laundry room, and entryway add everyday practicality. The elegant dining room, anchored by a custom blown-glass chandelier, is perfect for entertaining, with a door that leads to a covered screen porch overlooking Atlantic Avenue. Authentic wood sliding doors open into the living room, where a beautiful bay window fills the space with natural light. A modern wood-burning stove adds cozy warmth, and glass doors lead to a privately fenced stone patio—ideal for outdoor dining or gathering around a summer fire. A shed off the patio is a bonus space that could be finished into another useable space.
Upstairs, two bedrooms and a beautifully updated bathroom provide a peaceful retreat, featuring custom tile work, a glass-enclosed shower, and a vintage clawfoot tub.
The beauty of the home extends to the exterior, where mature plantings, a parterre granite-enclosed garden, and slate roof complement the home's vibrant color palette. Painted in expressive shades of green and coral, the exterior offers a playful yet sophisticated take on classic Victorian style—bold and absolutely striking. bold and absolutely striking. A true island gem that beautifully blends historic charm.
