Built in the early 1900s and owned by only three families in the past century, this quaint farmhouse-style home combines its original storybook charm with modern renovations that make it comfortable and welcoming today. In summer, mature wisteria transforms the front porch into a secret garden, while the fully fenced backyard becomes a shady oasis with curly willow, weeping cherry, Persian ironwood, lilac, laurel, and a garden pond complete with goldfish. Stone walkways frame a large raised deck perfect for outdoor entertaining, On the home s ground level, the living room with wood-burning fireplace is open to a dining room with built-in corner cabinet, and four tall windows. The kitchen, separated from the dining room by the original swinging oak door, has solid hickory cabinets, Corian countertops, a five-burner gas stove, and over the sink, a deep bay window overlooking a hosta and fern-lined stone path. At the back of the home off the kitchen, the light-filled family room with a second wood-burning fireplace looks out to the backyard gardens. A half bath and laundry room, and a spacious coat closet are near the driveway-side entrance.On the second level, two corner bedrooms with large windows share a hall bath with twin sinks. A sunny bonus room is ready to serve as a home office, nursery, or play/craft room. The spacious and private master suite on the third floor features a skylight, wide windows along two sides, a full bathroom, two double closets, a built-in dresser, and new wall-to-wall carpeting.You ll find ample storage space, with cleverly concealed space beneath the eaves, a large cedar closet and separate linen closet on the second floor, plus attic space, and a full walk-out basement.A large outbuilding on the property is designed to look like a garage, but cleverly houses a large workshop at the front, a carpeted office in the middle, and a deep garden shed at the back with built-in shelving.
