Property Description

Welcome to 503 Orkney Road, a three-story home built in 1895 and tastefully renovated over the last two years. This beautiful property retains much of its original charm, including gorgeous wood floors, pocket doors and meticulously restored windows that flood the space with natural light. High ceilings add to the home's expansive feel.
Located in the highly walkable Belvedere neighborhood, this home offers easy access to urban conveniences such as restaurants, stores, Belvedere Square, and the historic Senator Theater, a classic Art Deco venue listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The first floor welcomes you with a spacious open entrance hall leading to a comfortable living room. The 18' dining room features pocket doors and a cozy window seat, perfect for social gatherings. An office with direct access to a powder room provides a quiet work space, while the breakfast room, adorned with French doors, has a pass-thru to a fully renovated kitchen. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, generous cabinet space, and stainless steel appliances.
The second floor offers four generous bedrooms, each equipped with ceiling fans. A 23' enclosed original sleeping porch can be accessed from two of the bedrooms, providing a unique and versatile space. The full bath features a tiled floor, a tub/shower combo with tiled walls, and an attractive vanity.
The third floor houses a three-room Primary suite. The suite includes the Primary bedroom, a dressing room which includes the Primary bath (featuring a pocket door, a tub/shower combo, a vanity, and vinyl flooring), and a 13' walk-in closet with ample hanging space and shoe storage. A new Carrier Central AC unit serves the second and third floors.
The lower level consists of a spacious 33' x 21' unfinished basement, home to the laundry area, a Weil-McLain gas steam boiler, a gas water heater and a 100 amp electrical panel.
The exterior of the home has cedar shingles and vinyl siding, with roof surfaces made of slate, rubber, and asphalt shingles. A driveway in the front accommodates two cars. A 33' covered front porch invites relaxation. The large, private back yard is a serene oasis with a flagstone patio and mature plantings, including specimen trees.
503 Orkney Road is a rare find that blends historic charm with modern amenities, offering a beautiful home in a vibrant neighborhood.
