Property Description

This 1888 Queen Anne Victorian is known as “The Devine House”. Historical Landmark #30, it was originally owned by Frank & Vinie Devine. The historic integrity of this home is what makes it so special. You’ll notice this as you walk up the brick walkway to the wide, wrap around front porch. Exterior pillars & accents are painted with period colors which showcase the detail. Downstairs, this home is the perfect example of a true Victorian style. There are 3 main rooms which are divided by solid wood pocket doors. The front parlor’s over-sized sash windows let in plenty of light. In the adjacent library, the wood built-in shelves create a lovely space to read. The spacious dining room truly shows off the oak hardwood floors, high baseboards, & crown molding found in most of the rooms. Each of these rooms has a fireplace with tile & wood mantles. Between the dining room & kitchen is a butler's pantry. Updates to the kitchen are tasteful with large gas/electric range, keeping the historic charm of the space. The second story bedrooms continue the Victorian charm. Both upstairs bathrooms have period bathtubs and showers. The third story is an unfinished, spacious attic. The double lot allows open space, sitting areas, Bogner pool & pool house/guest house. The 480' garage and 470' pool house/guest house were built in 1995. The pool house has bed & bath & large living/work space, & has separate central heat & air. The garage has alley access.
