In 2018 Kelsey and Bradley purchased the home previously owned by former Governor Richard Celeste from 1991-1995. This four-square is 3,129 sq. ft. and was built in 1900. The home infuses modern decor with traditional and gives a respectful nod to the Victorian era origins. Beautiful woodwork and detailed ornamentation has been retained. The entryway showcases commissioned watercolors of each house Kelsey & Bradley have owned.

Diamond Building and Remodeling in 2021 completed the most recent renovation in the kitchen/ dining room. During renovations they discovered a ‘secret’ staircase hidden inside the wall. The rear staircase was likely built for house staff as was customary at the turn of the 20th century when large homes required staff who were expected to stay out of sight coming and going.

In addition, during the renovation, original oak floors were uncovered and refurbished. A new kitchen includes large center island for food prep and entertaining. The geometric pattern tile backsplash provides a beautiful functional design element. The homeowners decided to leave areas of the brickwall exposed to showcase the history of the house while adding texture.
