Circa 1881, this beautiful row of dormered Eastlake style townhouses were built on this dead end block of John St in Bolton Hill. So many original details remain including six original mantels, one wood burning fireplace, stained glass, ornate staircase, rear servants staircase and the original coal stove in the kitchen. 1213 John Street is one of the few fully restored homes in Bolton Hill with new historically accurate wood windows and heart pine wood floors, all new wiring, plumbing, two zone heat and cool, roof, kitchen and baths and more! The main level has a living room, dining room, powder room and beautiful modern eat-in-kitchen with bar seating. The second floor has three bedrooms and one full bath. The third floor was used as a primary suite with a walk-in-closet with Bosch washer/dryer combo, cedar closet, primary spa bath with walk-in shower and soaking tub along with a fifth bedroom which would be an excellent home office, nursery or home gym. The basement is unfinished and has a brand new concrete floor, new electric hot water heater, and additional washer/dryer. Perfect basement for storage only. The home has a wonderful, low maintenance bluestone patio for entertaining which is easily accessible directly from the kitchen.
