Listing broker remarks

Welcome to the Joseph Yates House, c.1846. This gracious Federal colonial boasts good bones and timeless charm, featuring high ceilings, elegant moldings (some with gold leaf), and skinny and wide pine floors. Floor-to-ceiling front windows fill the space with natural light, and leaded glass around the front door adds a unique touch. A Jack and Jill staircase, covered porch, and deck above the garage enhance the home’s character. Fireplaces in the living room, dining room, and bedroom add warmth and charm. Additional amenities include first-floor laundry, central air, and a two-car garage with storage below.
