A wonderful transformation has occurred on Swan Street. This historic Victorian has seen it’s worn beige faux brick removed, revealing the beautiful original red brick. The front porch has been rebuilt, new black windows, gutters, and downspouts have been installed. A two car red crushed stone parking space is done. The eves and soffits have been replaced, new shingles added, and the three chimneys have been rebuilt. And this reimagined exterior is only the first Act in the restoration of this Lambertville landmark.
Inside, the 1st floor has a large kitchen, family room, and a dining/ living room with high ceilings and new hardwood floors, wide baseboards, and crown moldings. The second floor has a main bedroom, with an en suite bath, crown molding, wide baseboards, and the second bedroom has its own balcony. A full bath completes the 2nd floor. The third floor contains a large bedroom suite, an additional bedroom, and a full bath.
The builder has a passion for restoring historic homes. He is doing a top down restoration which includes installation of a modern kitchen, adding a new new gas furnace, central air, new electrical, and plumbing.
However, the original wide plank floors on the 2nd and 3rd floors have been preserved and brought back to life. The repointed brick interior walls have been exposed as architectural detail and an homage to a bygone era.
Come and tour the home and see the possibilities…
