Constructed circa 1762 as a double tenement on a very large lot, 55 king street was converted to a single family residence in the mid twentieth century and remarkably has had only four owners, one of which was the famed miniaturist, charles fraser (1782-1860). The property underwent major renovations under its present ownership beginning in the 1980's and boasts more recent modifications such as a swimming pool designed by local landscape architect, t. Hunter mceaddy, and the old kitchen house that was redesigned into a chic guest house with soaring ceilings, a sleeping loft, two fireplaces, and an outdoor kitchen. The formal dining room as well as the family room open onto a spacious screened porch overlooking the lush landscaping of the rear patio and pool. There are five fireplaces on the first floor, one of which is a focal point for the cozy kitchen which has been recently updated. Also perfect for a large family, the main house offers five bedrooms, four full baths, and a laundry room on the upper floors along with a very generous amount of closet space, shelving, storage areas, and three additional fireplaces. Beautiful heart of pine floors, period woodwork, mantels, built-in shelving, and the finest of details abound in this superb historic family home. Main house has approximately 5000 square feet and the carriage house approximately 1000 square feet.
