A newly added first-floor half bath and laundry w/soap stone sink adds modern convenience. The cozy dining room features a vaulted ceiling w/beams and a working Rumford fireplace, while the tiled sunroom offers natural light and overlooks a private pocket garden and patio—an ideal retreat in the heart of town.
