Step into a piece of New Brighton history. This magnificent 1890 Victorian in thenprestigious Benjamin Townsend Historic District blends 19th-century grandeur with today's most coveted updates. The kitchen is simply stunning - granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar. The main-floor bathroom is oversized and magazine-worthy: exposed original brick chimney, floor-to-ceiling subway tile, glass shower, designer vanity, and in-unit laundry. Throughout: soaring ceilings, chunky Victorian baseboards, and craftsmanship that isn't built anymore - plus a sweeping porch and private yard. All new plumbing under the house and to the street (2026). New hot water tank (2026).nBuilt during New Brighton's industrial golden era, this home stands in a neighborhood named for the Townsend family - arguably the most influential name in borough history. David Townsend, the 'Father of New Brighton,' laid out the town's original streets and donated land for Townsend Park. He was also a Quaker abolitionist and secret conductor on the Underground Railroad. The Townsend Company became the first rivet manufacturer west of the Allegheny Mountains, fueling the prosperity that built grand homes like this one. New Brighton carries an unusually large stock of pre-WWII architecture - this home is a rare and lovingly preserved example of that legacy.nAll new plumbing under the house and to the street (2026).
