About 11619 Somerset Ave

Step into a piece of history with this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated residence, originally built circa 1856 for Joseph Brinkley. Designed and constructed by renowned local craftsman Seth Venables — celebrated for his work in the Federal and Greek Revival styles — this stately two-and-a-half-story home seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern convenience. Set on a generous 0.73-acre double lot (with possible subdivision potential), the property boasts period features like six fireplaces — five functional and one decorative — along with stunning hardwood floors, a classic side porch (now screened for comfort), and a charming screened sleeping porch off the owner’s suite, perfect for enjoying the outdoors across three seasons. The home has been tastefully updated with today’s needs in mind: thermal replacement windows, a mini-split HVAC system for room-by-room climate control, renovated kitchen and baths, all-new appliances, and newly installed insulation and vapor barrier in the crawl space. A brand-new fence runs the length of one side of the property, adding privacy and definition. For hobbyists or those in need of flexible space, the detached garage has been enhanced with a concrete pad and is currently used as a workshop. Accessibility is also considered — the chairlift was recently repaired and comes with a transferable one-year warranty. This one-of-a-kind offering combines historical significance, thoughtful upgrades, and development potential — all waiting for its next chapter to be written.
