Step into this beautifully preserved historic home where quality craftsmanship meets contemporary living. From the moment you enter, you'll be captivated by the original woodwork, detailed trim, and grand staircase that tell a story of elegance from another era. The high ceilings, natural light, and wood burning fireplaces will create a warm and cozy atmosphere throughout the winter months. While the home's character has been lovingly maintained, the modernized kitchen with quartz countertops, updated cabinetry and updated bathrooms bring today's style and convenience into perfect harmony with yesterday's charm. Whether you need more space or drawn to its rich history, this home offers the best of both. Updates include complete kitchen, flooring, bathrooms, boiler furnace, hot water heater, and electricity. The heating and cooling split units were installed in 2016 and work great. This property includes 2 parcels.
