In the heart of Lawrence close to local and private schools on a beautifully landscaped lot you ll find this lovely Victorian colonial. Meticulously cared-for gardens with specimen plantings, covered wraparound porch, and magazine-worthy kitchen. This classic 4-square home presents all the architectural character you would expect from a home of this vintage but completely updated and upgraded for today's living. Original oversized chestnut and beveled glass door, wainscoted staircase with mullioned landing window. White oak hardwood flooring flows throughout the first and second levels. Elegant living room and formal dining room with pocket doors usher you into the designer kitchen with bay window, raised walnut eat-in island, and a glass doored hutch with matching walnut top. Designer selected Quartzite countertops, inset cabinets, specialty tile backsplash, JennAir gas range, oversized stainless hood, stainless French-door refrigerator and paneled integrated Miele dishwasher. The first floor also includes a laundry / mudroom addition off the kitchen and a powder room with beadboard detail walls. Upstairs is the primary bedroom with bay window and generous walk-in closet. The light-filled ensuite bathroom showcases a marble vanity top and flooring, thermostatic shower system, crackle tile shower walls and heated towel rack. Second and third bedrooms are also on this level, as well as an office/nursery and the second full bathroom. On the third level is the generous fourth bedroom which provides built-in shelving and dormer details, plus a large closet and hidden eaves storage. Unfinished basement has French drain and sump pump with battery backup system. A custom designed hardscape walkway and patio leads you to the oasis-like rear gardens and entrance to the house from a demi-lune back porch. Two-car detached garage was modified by previous owner to be used as a workshop so has never been used as garage by current owners; perfect as a workshop or she-shed with its own electrical panel. This property has been lovingly maintained by its designer owner for the past 20 years with many updates and improvements. Easy access to transportation, travel corridors, schools and businesses.
