296 Garafraxa St Street

This Victorian estate is a timeless masterpiece. Storied to once be home to a local doctor, this Chatsworth treasure seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern comforts on a private double-wide lot. The stunning double-brick exterior, wraparound veranda, and grand 42-inch solid wood front door make a striking first impression. Inside, intricate woodwork, original hardwood floors, stained glass and transom windows, a Juliet balcony, wide entryways, and soaring ceilings elevate the grandeur. Meticulously preserved, this home showcases the craftsmanship of its era while incorporating thoughtful updates for contemporary living. The formal dining room is perfect for entertaining, while the cozy living room, with its historic fireplace and natural gas insert, invites relaxation. A decorative staircase leads to the second floor, where three spacious bedrooms feature oversized windows and doors. This level also includes a dedicated laundry room and a modern 3-piece bath with an extra-large stand-up shower. The third-floor suite is a private retreat, lined with warm cedar plank walls and insulated with Roxul for year-round comfort. A 2-piece bath completes this tranquil escape. Descending the historic butlers staircase, you arrive in the beautifully updated kitchen. Cherry cabinetry, a centerpiece island, stainless steel appliances, and a striking black slate natural stone floor make this space both functional and stylish. A conveniently located half bath adds to its practicality. Seamlessly connected to two inviting entertaining areas, this kitchen is the heart of the home. On one side, a formal dining area sets the stage for intimate gatherings, while the other opens into a cozy living room with a gas fireplace. Beyond, the four-season sunroom is a showpiece flooded with natural light and offering direct access to the backyard oasis. Completed in 2023, the in-ground pool is a true highlight, surrounded by interlocking stone, a fire pit, and a Mennonite-style pool house.
