    What's special

    Timeless charm and thoughtful modern updates come together in this exceptional antique home. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded by its current owners, this distinctive 0.88 acre property offers the character and craftsmanship of a historic home with the comfort and conveniences of 21st-century living. The front door opens to a gracious living room with wood burning fireplace and built-ins. The LR leads to a lovely dining room with more built-ins, perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The remodeled kitchen combines style and function, with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a comfortable eating area. A sunken 1st floor family room off the kitchen is the perfect gathering place, with adjoining mudroom and easy access to the patio and backyard. Upstairs, a versatile bonus space/sitting room offers additional flexibility, while two generously-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the second floor. Updates and amenities include: central air conditioning (2019) and one mini-split, newer roof (2023), newer driveway (2022), solar panels (2019), propane heating system (2019), inground pool (2019), EV charger-ready (2025), poolhouse (2019), multi-zone heat and so much more.
