The home blends timeless character with modern flair, featuring three fireplaces, elegant mouldings, and charming built-ins throughout. Curb appeal abounds with a crisp exterior color palette and a brand-new front porch that welcomes you in style.

The formal dining room is accented with classic chair rail and a convenient butler’s pantry/wine bar.
