But this house has a secret so special it is hidden underneath its own trap door. Step into 423 Queen, and step down into your own speakeasy! Yes, the lower level has been converted to a hideaway speakeasy complete with a trap door. It’s the coolest place for cocktail making and movie watching. Built in 1815, that charming blue exterior draws you in immediately. The front door opens to the light-filled, south-facing living room that easily flows into the formal dining room. Use the nook on the right as an office or simply for collectibles. The large kitchen features custom cabinetry, a gas range, granite countertops, a built-in coffee bar hutch, and lots of counter space. Out the back door you’ll find a large deck perfect for cooking and dinner alfresco and a deep, expertly landscaped backyard. Extensive hardscaping and lush landscaping create the perfect outdoor living areas. Upstairs you’ll find the primary suite. The en-suite bathroom has it all—a stand up shower, clawfoot tub, and a vanity that makes getting ready for the day a breeze. The enormous, custom built, walk-in closet is every fashionista’s dream. Laundry is also in the en-suite making day-to-day housekeeping convenient. Skylights overhead bring the sunshine in. The second bedroom suite is just down the hallway complete with windows overlooking the front of the house, a large wall of closets and a full bath. Through a trap door in the coat closet on the main level you’ll find the stairs to the coolest speakeasy. A fun space to practice your craft cocktail skills, entertain, sing karaoke, and watch movies.
