There is just something about a yellow house that draws you in. Conversations on the front porch at twilight wane into the wee hours until views of a picturesque street in the historic district fade, and the illuminated tower of the State House and glow of the Navy Chapel come into focus against the backdrop of night. Once through the threshold of the yellow house on Green Street, reminders abound that this home has a lot of certain "somethings." Three original fireplaces and original hardwood floors hearken back to the residence's history, while a playful powder room (2012), a fully renovated bed and bath on the second level (2016), and top-level remodeled suite (2023) provide the luxurious finishes of the present. Perhaps the most exciting marriage of past and present, which this home achieves at every turn, is the exceptionally beautiful kitchen completed in 2014. Rustic clapboard cupboards with wrought-iron hinges, the knotted pine ceiling punctuated by hearty beams, and the cozy fireplace with a crane to warm spiced wine or soup pair seamlessly with modern hickory shaker-style cabinetry, a Dacor gas range, and sea green granite countertops. A tile scene of blue herons in the marsh above the range speaks to the setting of this special residence. French doors open from the kitchen onto the IPE deck (2014), making impromptu al fresco dining an easy choice. There is one more "something" that sets this rare residence apart: Even though the base of Main Street is a mere 475 feet away, the backyard is transportive, with its meandering brick pathway leading to the courtyard, surrounded by greenery and trees. The final surprise of this home is the balcony off the rear bedroom, with serene treehouse views - a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee at the yellow house on Green Street.
