Own a piece of 1893 that has survived remarkably intact. Nook & Key 1893, Anna's distinctive Queen Anne Victorian "Painted Lady," offers nearly 2,700 square feet of living space filled with the craftsmanship and character that make historic homes irreplaceable. Throughout the home, 10 original stained-glass windows from around the world, cast colorful light across rooms where much of the original woodwork and trim remains beautifully unpainted, a rare find after more than 130 years. Generous windows, soaring ceilings, period architectural details, and an unforgettable wall of mirrors give the interior a sense of drama and history that simply cannot be recreated in a modern build. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, multiple living and entertaining spaces, and two soaking tubs, offering historic atmosphere without sacrificing everyday comfort. An upstairs porch provides another special place to unwind and take in the surroundings. And the story doesn't end with the main two floors. The unfinished third-floor is an extraordinary remnant of the home's past and offers a space unlike anything found in a typical residence. Outside, the property includes its historic two story carriage house, adding even more character, storage, and possibility. From the stained glass and preserved millwork to the ballroom, carriage house, porches, and one-of-a-kind architectural details, this isn't simply a house with "historic charm." It is a home where the history is still physically present. Whether you're drawn to historic architecture, looking for a memorable private residence, or searching for a property with personality and possibilities beyond the ordinary, Nook & Key 1893 deserves to be experienced in person. Some homes have character added to them. This one has spent more than 130 years earning it.
