Built in 1898, this elegant residence has been thoughtfully restored, carefully preserved, & tastefully modernized for today’s lifestyle. Extensive restorations include original windows, refreshed interior and exterior paint, renovated front porch, a newer roof, a 200-amp electrical upgrade, three restored working fireplaces, and heat pumps on each level for year-round comfort. Inside, a stunning entryway sets the tone, leading to gracious living and dining rooms rich with timeless period detail. A newly updated kitchen and pantry blend modern convenience with historic charm. Upstairs, you will find beautifully updated bedrooms and a new full bath.
