About this home

*** PRICE IMPROVEMENT*** Picture yourself pulling into the drive of the Isaac Mills House, an 1858 Italianate landmark in the Crescent Hill historic district, and feeling the whole day let go. Broad porches wrap the front, and you already know where your morning coffee will taste best. Whether you're a local who has always admired this neighborhood, or you're coming from Boston, Hartford, or New York and wondering what your money can really buy, this is the house that answers the question.Nearly 4,000 sq ft. Twelve rooms. Four bedrooms, two full and two half baths. Over half an acre in the city, with gardens, a koi pond, and a hot tub waiting for your first quiet evening. Step inside and notice the warmth of the wood floors underfoot, the fireplaces that invite you to stay a while, and the grand gathering rooms that make hosting feel effortless. The country kitchen with its pantry is where people naturally end up, and the main-level office means your workday ends when you close the door. First-floor laundry keeps daily life easy.You may be wondering what's left to do, and here's the good news: the biggest exterior job is finished. The exterior was recently painted with support from a city preservation grant. That leaves the interior as your canvas: update the interior colors or wall paper to your taste while keeping the character that can't be built new at any price. The practical comforts are here too: a walk-up attic and partially finished basement with interior entry give you room to grow, four off-street parking spaces make coming and going simple, and public water and sewer keep things straightforward.Imagine the holidays here.
