The kitchen is a home chef's dream, featuring wall-to-wall cabinets that provide an abundance of storage space. The large kitchen island is perfect for entertaining and crafting gourmet meals.

The master suite is a must-see, combining historic charm with modern luxury and offering a space that exudes both comfort and style. The downstairs features a guest bathroom with 2 additional bedrooms, boasting shiplap and the most beautifully refinished paneling. Take the perfectly restored staircase to the second floor for two more bedrooms each with their own surprise features. From reading nooks to built-ins to window seats...each room is its own private retreat. A third bathroom also graces the second story for added convenience. This home invites you to experience timeless beauty with modern amenities, all in a neighborhood steeped in history. Measurements are approximate; buyer to verify. Home is located in flood zone x (thats the good one!)
