Previously featured in a magazine cover story, the historic James W. Mort House, circa 1869, is a meticulously restored Second Empire Victorian offering a rare opportunity to own one of Lowell's distinctive architectural treasures. Its dramatic Mansard roof, richly ornamented exterior and central three-story polygonal tower create an unforgettable presence, crowned by dormer windows and a decorative finial. Intricate brackets, moldings and period detailing further showcase the craftsmanship of the era. Fresh exterior paint and extensive new roofing enhance this striking home, beautifully sited atop quiet Christian Hill.The sweeping, professionally designed grounds feature new walkways, irrigation, flowering trees and perennial gardens. A discreet two-car garage is topped by an expansive deck accessed from the sun-filled sunroom and highlighted by an imported cast-iron gazebo.Inside, this five-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers a flexible and gracious floor plan. The spacious formal living room accommodates a grand piano and features Bradbury wallpaper, custom window treatments and a wood-burning fireplace. The updated kitchen respects the home's historic character while providing modern convenience, with a wood/gas Victorian-style range, center island with built-in oven, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. An adjoining wet bar complements the home's entertaining spaces.Upstairs, hand-painted bucolic murals add remarkable character, while the stunning library showcases detailed ceiling work and a two-tier mantel with wood stove. Views of downtown Lowell can be enjoyed from the upper levels. The property may also be available completely furnished.
