Charming 1840 Cottage-Style Home – 4 Bed, 2 Bath – Lovingly Maintained by Same Family for 40 Years
Welcome to our beloved home—a classic 1840 cottage filled with history, warmth, and character. Nestled in a peaceful setting, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath gem has been our haven for the past 40 years, and now it’s time to pass it on to someone who will love it as much as we have.
The house features original hardwood floors throughout, offering timeless charm and a solid foundation. A thoughtful update in the 1980s brought modern convenience while preserving the home's vintage feel. You’ll find cozy, sun-filled rooms, high ceilings, and architectural details that reflect its historic roots.
The kitchen and bathrooms were updated for comfort while staying true to the home's aesthetic. With one primary bedroom and a full bath on the first floor, and 2 bedrooms plus a full bath upstairs, this home offers flexible living arrangements, perfect for families, guests, or even a home office setup.
Outside, mature trees and perennial plants frame the property, providing shade, privacy, and a true sense of peace. It’s been a joy to live here, to host family gatherings, and to watch the seasons change from the sun porch.
