$415,000 for an 1893 Painted Lady With a Ballroom and Carriage House
Known as “Nook & Key 1893,” this remarkably preserved Queen Anne Victorian looks like a Painted Lady lifted from another era.
Ten original stained-glass windows cast colorful light across rooms filled with unpainted woodwork, preserved millwork, soaring ceilings, and period architectural details.
The 2,692-square-foot interior includes three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, multiple entertaining spaces, two soaking tubs, and an unforgettable wall of mirrors.
A ballroom, pocket doors, original built-ins, crown molding, chandeliers, hardwood floors, and three gas-log fireplaces deepen the home’s historic atmosphere.
Beyond the main living floors, an unfinished third story offers additional possibilities while preserving another fascinating piece of the house’s past.
Outside, porches, a brick patio, mature landscaping, and a historic two-story carriage house complete the storybook setting.
Listed for $415,000, this is the kind of old house whose character was not recreated – it survived.
