You'll be swept off your feet by this exquisite offering at Wit's End, an esteemed 7-unit boutique condominium where Old World grandeur sits in the heart of the Rivertowns! Skillfully renovated to retain the original majesty of the entire first floor of a circa 1865 Victorian mansion, this meticulous 3,000+ sq-ft, 3 bedroom/3 bath townhome provides gracious stair-free living, featuring soaring 12-foot-high wood-beamed ceilings, 5 fireplaces, and hardwood floors with intricate inlaid borders. A superb 3-sided wrap-around covered porch affords elegant outdoor entertaining, with steps down to the western lawn. Inside, the breathtaking open plan living and dining rooms steal the show. Both spaces are richly textured with elaborate moldings and enhanced by dramatic fireplaces.

An enormous family room with its own wood-burning fireplace connects through 2 sets of French doors into a delightful remodeled kitchen awash in sunlight, with pressed tin ceiling, ample cabinets, and expansive treetop views. The bedrooms are overly-generous and offer unique options: one with fireplace and hall bath could become a home office; one with ensuite bath and wood-burning fireplace is perfect for guest/au pair; and the primary boasts ensuite bath, 2 walk-in closets, and prominent built-in cabinetry for books and display.
