A 1908 Victorian-style home that residents of the King William Historic District refer to as “The Dollhouse” has hit the market for just shy of $1.2 million after spending decades in the same family’s hands.
The residence gets its name from what its online listing refers to as a “cheery pastel exterior that instantly lifts the spirits.” But the five-bedroom, two-bath property has more than curb appeal going for it.
Gilded-age architectural details run through the house, including transom windows, beautifully cut molding and a magnificent stairway that transforms the foyer into quite a statement. The kitchen’s blend of historic style and modern elegance also demonstrates the owners’ commitment to preserving period details.
If that’s not enough, the 2,500-square-foot residence comes with an appropriately snazzy gazebo that seems ideal for watching the King William parade — or perhaps serves good reason for assembling one’s own brass band or barbershop quartet.
This home is listed by Elizabeth M. Barrera Lutz with King William Realty.
