Experience one of Bolton Hill's finest Victorian residences, where extraordinary 19th century craftsmanship meets sophisticated 21st century living. Beautifully restored and thoughtfully renovated, 1617 Bolton Street offers approximately 4,500 square feet of finished living space, a rare open floor plan, a newly constructed two car garage and carport, landscaped gardens, and approximately two years remaining on the CHAP Historic Tax Credit.
A grand foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings, original newel posts, an imposing center staircase, intricate plaster moldings, and remarkable craftsmanship. Throughout the main level, original zebra striped hardwood floors, spectacular stained glass, marble mantels, oversized pocket doors, original mirrors, working shutters, decorative fireplaces, and a rare rear staircase showcase the architectural details buyers seek in Bolton Hill.
Perfectly positioned on an east west axis, the home is filled with natural light from sunrise to sunset. The elegant front living room features dramatic floor to ceiling windows and a beautiful marble mantel, while the flexible center parlor is ideal as a den, library, music room, or second living room.
Unlike many Victorian homes, the rear of the home opens into a spectacular chef's kitchen with an oversized island, stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop with downdraft vent, wall oven, abundant cabinetry, spacious butler's pantry, mudroom, wet bar, powder room, and a sun filled breakfast room overlooking the landscaped garden.
The second floor is anchored by a luxurious primary suite with a custom dressing room and spa inspired bath featuring a double vanity and oversized walk in shower. A second floor laundry room, additional bedroom, and renovated hall bath complete this level.
The third floor offers a second primary suite with sitting room and en suite bath, plus two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The finished lower level includes a full guest suite with kitchen, bathroom, private entrance, interior access, and generous storage.
Outside, enjoy professionally landscaped gardens, upgraded hardscaping, and the rare convenience of a newly constructed two car garage and carport with a dedicated 220 volt outlet for Level 2 EV charging.
The current owners have made significant investments restoring and modernizing the home, including reconstruction of the rear elevation and bay window, garage construction, foundation improvements, restored front doors, new gas boiler with redesigned heating zones, chimney restoration, plaster restoration, luxurious primary suite renovation, and numerous structural, mechanical, and cosmetic upgrades.
