Step into the timeless charm of this beautifully restored 1940 two-story home, where historic character meets thoughtful modern updates. Offering 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this spacious home has been lovingly renovated while preserving the craftsmanship and details that make it truly special. Major improvements completed in 2024 include a new roof, skylights, flooring throughout the main level, a newly built 2-car garage, a completely remodeled kitchen, and new front and back doors. In 2021, an outdoor wood furnace was installed, with the existing propane system remaining connected for added flexibility. Original features continue to shine throughout the home, including the stunning 8-foot pocket doors, which have been carefully enclosed and preserved, the beautiful rock fireplace, and charming built-in cabinetry in the living and dining rooms. The main level offers a comfortable layout with a primary suite, two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a convenient mudroom/laundry area. Outside, you'll find a welcoming half-wraparound angled porch—the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind with a good book. The expansive yard provides plenty of room for children to play, gardening, or entertaining, while a storage shed and the original manual water pump add both functionality and a touch of nostalgia. Rich in history, full of character, and enhanced with today's modern conveniences, this one-of-a-kind property is ready to welcome its next owners. Schedule your private showing today!
