This stunning historic home masterfully blends classic architectural details with contemporary
comforts. The living room features a gas fireplace framed by custom-built shelving and an elegant mantelpiece, all complemented by the original moldings that have been meticulously maintained or expertly replicated. Beautiful transoms over the doors, original period hardware, and custom-milled crown moldings in the dining room, living room, and hall bath preserve the home’s rich character. With seven ceiling fans strategically placed throughout the home, comfort is always within reach.

The main living areas boast gleaming hardwood floors, intricate crown molding, and high
ceilings, creating an open and airy feel. The bright sunroom, with its striking patterned tile
floors, provides a peaceful retreat and opens onto a large deck—perfect for outdoor dining and
entertaining amidst mature trees and lush greenery. Upstairs, the generously sized bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, with the master bathroom showcasing a large walk-in shower with subway tile, marble double vanities, and custom tile flooring. Crown molding and detailed trim continue throughout the home, enhancing the timeless appeal. The basement has been fully updated with a sump pump and French drain system, freshly parged and painted walls, offering a clean and secure space for storage or additional living possibilities.
