Offered for the first time in 55 years, this grand historic home is a true architectural treasure.
Boasting 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this meticulously maintained residence offers 3,726 square feet of timeless elegance, featuring 10-foot ceilings throughout and original hardwood floors in most rooms.
Entering from the rear, you're welcomed by a sun-filled breakfast area with abundant windows, leading into a spacious kitchen complete with ample counter and cabinet space, a food pantry, and washer/dryer connections. The remainder of the main level showcases an impressive parlor, formal dining room, living room with fireplace, and a cozy den with an additional fireplace. A large full bathroom is also located on the first floor. Two separate staircases provide access upstairs, one from the kitchen and a stunning main staircase from the front entry, highlighted by exquisite original woodwork.
Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, all with hardwood floors and ceiling fans, along with a second full bathroom. A staircase leads to the attic, offering excellent storage space.
The basement houses the natural gas furnace and water heater and provides abundant additional storage. Outside, the property features an original horse/hay barn ideal for storage, a shed area, and even the original outhouse, and a beautiful playhouse (look at the pics) adding to the home's historic charm. An asphalt loop driveway allows for easy access and convenient entry and exit.
