Property Description
Step back into 1883 with a home that brilliantly bridges history and modern comfort. The DeForest House, an award-winning gem, greets you through a grand foyer crowned with its original gasolier, now glowing with electricity. Soaring 12+ foot ceilings and authentic wood floors set the stage, while restored 9-foot pocket doors connect the gracious living and dining spaces. The built-in buffet now gleams with interior lighting, ready to showcase your treasures. The home boasts three generous bedrooms and a dreamy period-style bath featuring a custom antique chest vanity. The kitchen and breakfast area blend style and function with stainless appliances, a striking leathered granite breakfast bar and a dazzling backsplash. Beyond the charm inside, enjoy a sunny deck, shaded yard with a sparkling pool, fenced with custom wrought iron and antique English gates. A massive basement workshop, plenty of parking, and close proximity to UTMB, The Strand, and the beach make this beauty a rare find!
