About 216 N Pitt St
This beautifully reimagined, light-filled semi-detached 1880 Colonial brick residence with a private side entrance has been thoughtfully renovated under the guidance of a talented interior designer who balanced historic character with modern ease. The result is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly livable. The main level half bath and upstairs hallway full bath are brand new!
The main entrance has been thoughtfully placed on the right side of the home. A decorative iron gate opens to the historical brick (from the 1800s!) courtyard, offering enhanced privacy and security while creating a gracious and secluded approach to the residence.
Inside, the entry sits perfectly between a welcoming family room and an updated, chef-inspired kitchen designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Just beyond, a door leads to a serene enclosed garden with a wooden privacy fence and brick patio — an ideal setting for morning coffee, evening grilling, or relaxed gatherings. A discreetly positioned powder room completes the main level.
New flooring over the original hardwood floors anchor the living spaces on the main floor, while a gas fireplace creates a warm focal point in the living room. The gated front entrance framed in iron adds an extra layer of charm and distinction. Along the rear, newly installed privacy fencing is softened by curated plantings that will bloom beautifully with the seasons.
Upstairs, the original wood flooring sets the tone for the well-appointed ensuite bath to the primary suite and added closets to each of the three bedrooms, enhancing both comfort and functionality. Windows on three sides fill the home with natural light throughout the day, highlighting elegant crown and chair-rail moldings as well as thoughtfully integrated built-ins.
The laundry is in the basement that is otherwise used for storage as the ceilings are currently low.
Perfectly positioned just half a block from the center of Old Town, the home offers the rare combination of peaceful residential living with immediate access to shops, dining, and neighborhood life.
