Property Description
Constructed circa 1762 as a double tenement on a very large lot, 55 King Street was converted to a single family residence in the mid twentieth century and remarkably has had only four owners, one of which was the famed miniaturist, Charles Fraser (1782-1860). The property underwent major renovations under its present ownership beginning in the 1980's and boasts more recent modifications such as a swimming pool designed by local landscape architect, T. Hunter McEaddy, and the old kitchen house that was redesigned into a chic guest house with soaring ceilings, a sleeping loft, two fireplaces, and an outdoor kitchen. The formal dining room as well as the family room open onto a spacious screened porch overlooking the lush landscaping of the rear patio and pool. There are five fireplaces
