Heritage character, Abbott Street corridor charm, and modern comfort come together in this 1913 Edwardian home, the Leopold Hayes House, on a rare 0.37-acre parklike lot just steps to the beach. Launch your paddle board or enjoy a swim only a stone’s throw from your property! Extensively renovated back to the studs, it blends original oak hardwood, solid doors, restored windows, stained-glass lighting, and a wide covered porch with tapered columns and lattice-wrapped vines. This 3 bedroom/3 bath plus den residence spans three levels.
On the main, gracious living and dining spaces feature a gas fireplace, vintage fixtures, and large windows with plantation shutters. The chef-inspired kitchen offers heated tile floors, granite counters, Sonoma tile backsplash, central island, original cast-iron sink, and Miele appliances, along with a butler’s pantry and bright breakfast nook opening to the backyard.
The upper level is a full-floor primary retreat with balcony, walk-in closet, laundry, and a 5-piece ensuite with heated stone floors, double vanity, clawfoot tub, and walk-in shower.
The lower level adds a cosy recreation room, flexible gym/family room with fireplace, two bedrooms, 4-piece bath, mudroom, and a den currently styled as a wine/cigar room with bar.
Outside, a new automatic gate leads to abundant parking, an oversized double garage with EV charger and workshop, stamped concrete with compass inlay, pond feature, and mature landscaping. Walk to multiple beaches, the hospital, coffee shops, or downtown along the Abbott Street path.
