Situated in the thriving heartbeat of bustling Richmond, just steps to coffee, boutique shops, movies and more along Hawthorne, this exquisite and elegantly detailed craftsman sits up off the street offering a peaceful retreat. Every detail of this circa 1906 vintage home has been fully and lovingly restored. In 2006-2008, the main house was taken down to the studs exposing the beautiful PNW old-growth timber frame. The homeowner, an expert carpenter, considered each historical element thoughtfully, and meticulously replicated or replaced each and every element. Now, this home stands proudly as a showpiece of skill and passion that any vintage home enthusiast could admire.
High quality renovations throughout include full insulation, new plumbing, new electrical, HVAC system, central A/C, water heater with recirculating pump for instant hot water, Presidential Roof (highest quality), copper guttering and flashing, solar panels, Rejuvenation lighting, smooth wall texture and several rooms with wiring for speakers.
