Here's your opportunity to own an elegant piece of local history. Built in 1879, "The Nelson House" has seen many updates & improvements along the way, but never straying far from it's architectural delights. The charm of this residence magnifies how a comfortable, serene lifestyle can be had just minutes from the epicenter of activity in downtown Bel Air. Picture yourself living in a real life Southern mansion, while still able to walk to all the fun this Bel Air town has to offer, year round, from local eateries & boutiques to the BBQ Festival & Winter Wonderland, and everything in between. Superior craftmanship abounds on the interior & the totally remodeled & updated kitchen now employs a Professional Series Wolf range & a Sub Zero fridge. Period accents thru-out the home, such as the small knob door handles, several wall sconces, pocket doors, multiple bay/bow windows; three fireplaces, meld seamlessly with the modern cosmetic updates. Plumbing & electrical updates have been made, for peace of mind, to include 2 brand new water heaters. You'll take a step back in time, with this unique floor plan, featuring dual staircases, two basements & lovely French doors. Current owners have maintained & updated this home, impeccably, with top of the line materials, to include replacement "leaf guard" gutters & a timeless copper roof on the dining room bay window. Five zoned heating units & four zoned A/C units (2 are brand new), mean this home has been updated to be energy efficient on your "comfort level" budget. Aside from this stately residence, there are beautifully maintained gardens on nearly an acre, thoughtfully structured hardscapes, a huge detached garage with a 22' x 13' finished loft area, perfect for a studio, exercise room, playroom or "Man Cave"; a charming gazebo, an oversized shed and a Koi filled pond. The circle driveway can accomodate several vehicles, along with abundant street parking.
