Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Old Orchard, Hydrangea House offers a rare blend of historic elegance and contemporary living, perfectly tailored for discerning individuals, couples, and families seeking something truly special. Built in 1938, this four-bedroom, three-bath craftsman-style home has been rebuilt from the inside out with respect for its rich heritage. Taken down to the studs by a master carpenter, the home was raised onto a newly poured foundation, allowing for the creation of a spacious, fully finished two-bedroom suite on the lower level — ideal for guests, extended family, or income potential through short-term rentals. Original Douglas fir floors anchor the home’s character, while custom walnut cabinetry, faithfully recreated triple-cove moldings, and fine detailing elevate each space. A generous Roman tub in the ensuite invites luxurious relaxation, while an abundance of natural light fills the living areas. Modern comforts have been thoughtfully integrated, including a 200-amp electrical service, updated plumbing throughout and an energy-efficient heat pump. Exterior updates such as cedar shakes, soffits, fascia, and professional landscaping ensure lasting beauty with low maintenance. The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive: multi-level, south-facing patios bursting with various types of hydrangeas create private sunny retreats for dining, entertaining, or peaceful reflection. A heated studio offers endless possibilities for a home office, creative space, or stylish teen retreat, complemented by a heated garage with epoxy floors and abundant driveway parking for vehicles, boats, or RVs. Walkable to downtown cafés, boutiques, the refreshing Puntledge River swimming hole and One-Spot Trail, Hydrangea House is not just a home — it’s a lifestyle of quiet luxury, thoughtful design, and enduring quality. For those who appreciate timeless beauty, masterful renovations, and a life lived well, Hydrangea House awaits. (id:48643)
