870 Columbia Street

Description

Introducing: McKinstry Manor 870-872 Columbia Street stands tall at the corner of McKnstry Place, a true masterpiece of elegance and design. This stunning, early 1890's Victorian home has recently undergone a complete and total restoration. The vast 3,150 SF interior includes five light-filled bedrooms and four, newly remodeled bathrooms. Original details are featured throughout, and include Victorian, glass transom doors, and a dramatic, main entry staircase. You'll also notice the restored parquet wood flooring, mosaic tiles, and a wood burning fireplace upon entering. Design aficionados will enjoy the many thoughtful details, like custom designed cabinetry, a La Cornue 47 chrome and wood pot rack, butcher block counters & top-of-the line appliances. Some of these high end fixtures include a classic, side-by-side Subzero refrigerator, Cherry red AGA stove, stainless steel dishwasher, porcelain farm sink, full equipped pantry, antique finished Italian tiles with radiant heated floor, and a classic Dutch door leading out to the private backyard deck areas. This historic gem has been tastefully updated for efficiency and safety. All three levels of the house have fire code approved sprinklers and energy-efficient heat pumps. All of the interior walls have been sprayed with closed-cell foam insulation. A new Generac power system generator backs up the high capacity 200 AMP electric service. The home has been newly wired with dimmers and gorgeous designer lighting throughout. The semi-finished basement is interior accessible, with a new, Bilco exterior door. Here you'll find a new laundry room and multiple storage areas atop poured cement floors, with all new plumbing lines and mechanical fixtures. For privacy, the entire property is fenced-in, gated, and lined with hornbeam hedges. There is a newly constructed side veranda, double tiered wooden back deck and a spectacular 3rd floor half round covered balcony with a custom nautical tiled flooring.
