LISTING DETAILS
Designed as a high class residential suburb, the Norfolk Company began developing Ghent in 1890. As part of Ghent's earliest phase of construction, Colonial Avenue is now graced with the oldest, most sophisticated homes in the neighborhood. These city mansions exhibit the ornate architectural qualities found in many affluent homes of the late nineteenth century.
Crowned with a cone-shaped corner tower on the left, this Queen Anne style city mansion is three-bays wide and balanced with large windows and gables on the right. The complex roofline is further ornamented by intricate moldings and spires, complementing a highly detailed porch supported by Ionic columns and spindle rails.
The house features 12-foot ceilings, an ornate staircase, original pocket doors, elaborate woodwork, and exposed brick walls that display the grandeur and beauty of late nineteenth century home design. A bright, modern kitchen complements the stately wood and brick found throughout the home. Some recent upgrades include a three-zone HVAC system, master bathroom with jacuzzi tub, deck, privacy fence with gate, and dedicated electrical power for the backyard, providing all the comforts of modern city living. Seller spent over $170,000 in upgrades and renovations between 2011 and 2016 and a detailed list will be provided to the buyer.
