Some houses are sold. This one is passed on. A Painted Lady that locals have admired for generations, The Kepler House has anchored Mt. Vernon’s historic streetscape since 1892. Over eleven painstaking years, every detail of its restoration was sourced, considered & executed by hand making this a true reclamation, not just a renovation A wrap around porch, rebuilt with no-maintenance flooring, sets the tone: this is a home that honors its past while asking nothing extra of its next steward. Inside, the main level was designed for both function & elegance. An office, two living rooms, & a formal DR flow through spaces grounded by quarter-sawn oak floors, original wood trim, & pocket doors that still glide as if newly hung. Even the updated lighting was chosen to reflect the era. The gourmet kitchen balances the home’s history with modern intention featuring quartz counters, a Wolf Range, & generous soapstone island w/ prep sink that seamlessly connect to a laundry area w/ full bath. A grand staircase leads to the 2nd level where the primary suite offers cedar closets & an ensuite bath alongside 3 light-filled large bedrooms & a 2nd full BA. The finished attic expands the home further w/ a 5th BR, full BA & a large family room already plumbed for a wet bar. 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, 134 years of character. Zero details left to chance.
