519 Duke St

Outstanding SE quadrant location with parking! This picturesque 1790 home is perfection inside and out. Original floors, wainscoting, chair rail and other woodwork shows the care the current and past owners have taken of this historic gem. Two fireplaces with original mantels (the same mantels are found in Gadsby's Tavern) reflect the beautiful craftsmanship of yesteryear. Entertain in the inviting living room while the chef prepares a delicious meal in the renovated kitchen featuring a Bertazzoni range, nickel fixtures and marble countertops. The dining room with a crystal chandelier is a delight with windows and a door to the deep rear patio/garden and the off-street parking space. Upstairs natural light pours in the primary bedroom from southern facing windows. A second bedroom faces the rear garden with two closets. A 2023 renovated full bath with Hansgrohe fixtures is sleek and sparkling. The top floor with two bright windows and clever storage under the eaves serves as the 3rd bedroom or office. New stair runner carpeting makes the stairwell bright and crisp. You'll find incredible storage in the basement which has a painted floor and wall cabinet. If you choose to have an exercise room on that level, a toilet and shower are there ready to create a 3rd full bath. You'll love the patio/garden with the brick patio for relaxing and having a glass of wine plus the garden area with boxwoods, magnolia, camellia, dwarf nandina and lily of the valley. The off-street parking space is found beyond the gate. The tax record square footage is INCORRECT…..An architect has created floor plans which show a total of 1060sqft for three levels of living space plus the basement of 441sqft. This house is a gem with an added bonus of off street parking.
