This grand historical home is fully restored and in like-new condition. The interior has nearly 4000sf and an additional 1700sf semi-finished basement. There are 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths. The interior entrance opens to a grand staircase, large archways, extensive molding, and an updated custom kitchen. A sea of gleaming oak wood flooring connects every room except for the tile bathrooms. The grounds have six-foot privacy fencing with electric driveway gates, creating a fully private in-town garden estate. A whole house generator is one of many modern amenities this home offers. Current owners have fully restored the home top-to-bottom while maintaining the historical character and quality, spending over $428,000 on renovations to bring this home back to like-new condition.
