About 1526 Short Street

Step into the perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort with this beautifully updated early 20th century cottage turned camelback. Thoughtfully renovated and expanded in 2024 (with a brand-new roof!), this home maintains its classic character while offering the space and amenities today’s lifestyle demands. Inside, you'll find a variety of living spaces tailored for both relaxation and entertaining. The front entry welcomes you into a traditional formal living room, while a large sunken den—with a wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, and soaring wood-clapped ceilings—offers a cozy retreat. The rear sunroom, conditioned by a wall unit and not included in the living square footage, provides additional flexibility as a playroom or hobby space. Upstairs, a versatile sitting area offers a quiet nook for reading or study. The home’s main level features a reimagined layout, where two former bedrooms have been transformed into a spacious primary suite. This private retreat includes built-in bookshelves, a generous walk-in closet, and a luxurious en suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub, standing shower, and dual vanities. The updated kitchen boasts sleek countertops, modern appliances, and plenty of cabinet and pantry storage. Just off the kitchen are the formal dining room, a large laundry room with office space, and a standalone full bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms. Two are joined by a shared en suite bath while the third bedroom functions beautifully as a private guest suite with its own bathroom. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a covered front porch and a fenced and walled in backyard featuring a brick patio—perfect for intimate gatherings, weekend grilling, or a small garden. This home offers a rare combination of architectural charm, smart layout, and modern convenience. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of history, thoughtfully updated for today.
