30 Shrewsbury Straße

Built in 1874, this gracious Italianate residence is one of Stratford’s most cherished addresses - a true ”chocolate box” house on tree-lined Shrewsbury Street, where the architecture tells the story of the city itself. The original yellow brick, wide bracketed cornice, canted bay window, and columned entrance portico speak to craftsmanship built to endure. Inside, 10.6 ft. ceilings and 14-inch original baseboards on the main level set a tone of quiet grandeur. The formal living room, with its gas fireplace and large bay window, includes two additional windows that flood the space with natural light. The bay window overlooks the private garden and patio. The dining room is dressed with a spectacular original plaster ceiling medallion, antique chandelier, and bay window with crown moulding.
