The story
OPEN HOUSE NOVEMBER 7, 10-1pm. Prepare to be wowed by this extraordinary North Hill Queen Anne Victorian. After nearly two years of fully permitted renovations—including relocated walls and removing a chimney, new electrical, plumbing, gas lines, kitchen, high-end appliances, master bath, breakfast area, downstairs guest suite, dry bar, pantry, outdoor PVC decking and columns, updated baths, tile, flooring, and designer finishes—“52” is truly turnkey ready. This remarkable home offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a third-floor bonus room, upstairs and downstairs washer/dryer connections, and ample storage space, totaling about 4900 sq ft. A detached two-car garage with cabinetry and finished PVC walls are extra. The front parlor showcases rich wainscoting, beautiful paneled pocket doors, a stained tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a coal-burning fireplace with convenient gas ignition. The living room/den features a historic built-in China hutch reimagined as media storage beside the neighborhood’s only curved oak fireplace mantel. The kitchen is bright with a copper ceiling, movable island, stunning gas range/electric oven and hood, and adjoins next to a breakfast area under an antique, colored glass window. The downstairs guest suite includes a private entrance, making it ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or potential rental use. The expansive master suite features dual vanities, a walk-in shower, built-in makeup vanity, spacious dressing area, and access to a large sleeping porch. Additional insulation improvements—including storm windows—keep utility costs lower than many comparable historic homes. The property also includes an iron fence and ample room for a future pool. “52” perfectly blends historic character, architectural charm, and modern functionality in one of downtown’s most desirable locations—just minutes from beaches, shopping, dining, and entertainment. You'll fall in love with “52” the moment you walk in and its secret room!
