Old North Architectural Gem -Designed by John Mackenzie Moore. This stunning 5-bed, 4-bath home in Old North was designed by renowned architect/civil engineer John Mackenzie Moore. A rare blend of Colonial Revival architecture with Arts & Crafts elements, it features a warm brick façade, fieldstone faced foundation and chimney, slate accents, and a carriage house-style double car garage with cedar shakes. Inside, a grand front entrance and vestibule open to a formal office and a sunlit sitting room; both with fireplaces and views of the front garden. The main hall leads to a palatial dining room with stained glass, a bright breakfast room overlooking the private rear garden, a quaint kitchen, and a 2-piece bath. A roomy boot room and pantry sit off the side entrance. Upstairs, the original staircase leads to a second-floor family room (or potential fifth bedroom), a spacious primary suite with ensuite, two large bedrooms with deep closets, and a fourth bathroom, and access steps to a large, wood-lined attic. A hidden stairway leads back to the boot room; one of two secret butler staircases. The finished lower level offers a pub-style games room with billiards, a large bedroom, 2-piece bath, laundry, workshop, and ample storage-plus another secret stairway. The deep rear yard boasts an English-style garden in full bloom with a quiet seating area. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local architectural history, rich with character, charm, and craftsmanship. Roof 2023, A/C Heat Pumps 2024.
