Historical Charm with Modern Amenities
Stained glass windows, rich carved wood and tin ceilings adorn an open layout well-suited to modern lifestyles.
A newly renovated kitchen with stainless steel island flows into a spacious room with wood stove, farmhouse dining table and seating area, which in turn connects to a cozy den. A versatile bonus room with cabinets is an ideal spot for crafts, hobbies or an additional kitchen area with its own wood stove. First floor full bath features convenient Jack and Jill doors. The beautiful woodlined 3-season garden-view room is a haven for relaxation. Upstairs are four ample bedrooms, a full bath with laundry and a small, three-season porch for plants.
