Property Description

The E.J.F. Fischer House was built Circa 1887-1889 in the Queen Anne Style after the Earthquake of 1886. The home was built on the site of an early 18th-century brick meeting house and chapel for sailors known as the Mariner's Church. This Victorian two-story home boasts many fine details original to the home including 10 ft ceilings, wood floors, original light fixtures in the entryway and dining room, wood detailing throughout, and a bay window overlooking Church Street. A side hall from the foyer leads to generous formal living and dining rooms with access to a sunroom in the form of an enclosed piazza. The open and spacious kitchen off the dining room overlooks a cozy den area with a gas fireplace.At the rear of the home is the first-floor guest bedroom with direct access to the garden. With a full bathroom and butler's pantry/kitchenette just off the bedroom, this could easily serve as a private first-floor guest or mother-in-law suite. Two separate staircases lead to the second floor with 2 additional guest bedrooms, a full guest bathroom, a laundry room, and the Owner's suite situated at the front of the home. The spacious Owner's suite includes a private bathroom with a separate tub and shower and a generous private sitting room that could also be used as an incredible walk-in closet and dressing room space. A screened piazza is accessed directly from the owner's suite to enjoy the cool evening breeze. The ground level with a half bath can be accessed via the front staircase and boasts almost 1500 sf of finished basement and storage space that is not included in the total square footage of the home. The ground level also opens directly to the driveway and garden, for quick and easy storage of bicycles and other outdoor equipment. Outside, enjoy a private gated courtyard with low-maintenance landscaping for a shaded quiet retreat. Off-street parking for 2 cars in the private brick driveway completes this one-of-a-kind, meticulously cared-for home with no preservation easements.
