What a gem
This lovely home is chic but comfortable, and it’s located in a perfect walkable neighborhood—one of my favorite bookstores, Rough Draft, is just a block away.
It's a historic house that has been updated without losing its character; it has personality without feeling precious. The floors are beautiful wide plank, the downstairs living room is painted a moody grey and has a big, comfy sofa and a great record collection.
The bedrooms are spacious and cozy at the same time. The bathrooms are bright and thoughtfully renovated. The vintage kitchen is charming and functional; there’s coffee for guests and everything is labeled for ease of use. The outdoor patio is lovely. There’s an airy reading nook upstairs.
In addition to the house itself, one of my favorite things about being here is the neighborhood: there’s a great bakery, Kingston Bread, nearby. I loved the hats and blues records at Blue Byrd’s Haberdashery. The farmers’ market is here on Saturdays. And Black Eyed Suzie’s food shop has fantastic takeout. It’s perfect for a weekend getaway or to stay awhile.
We’ve had great communication with the owner throughout. As he mentions in the listing, the house is old, and it is creaky; I’d recommend renting with people you’re close to because you will definitely hear each other walking around at night. To me that’s part of the charm.
