Key Facts
Description
Some houses are sold. This one is passed on. A Painted Lady locals have admired for generations, The Kepler House has anchored Mt. Vernon’s historic streetscape since 1892. Over 11 painstaking years, every detail of its restoration was sourced, considered, & executed by hand; a true reclamation. The wraparound porch sets the tone: this home honors its past while asking nothing extra of its next steward. Inside, quarter-sawn oak floors, original wood trim, & pocket doors that still glide as if newly hung anchor a main level built for both elegance and function — two living rooms, formal DR, a gourmet kitchen w/ Wolf range & soapstone island, plus an office, laundry room & full bath. Upstairs, a primary suite with cedar closets, three additional bedrooms, and a finished attic with a fifth bedroom, full bath, and family room plumbed for a wet bar. 5 bedrooms. 4.5 baths. 132 years of character. Zero details left to chance.
