Hard to believe that a 1897 home could deliver such modern day amenities but this one is must see. Step through the entryway & into a time when homes were quality built. Detailed woodwork showed pride of home & louvered shutters let in just the right amount of sunlight. Gorgeous updates bring this home into the 21st century without losing it character & charm. The barrel vault ceiling spans the living room, library/fireplace, and dining room. The perfect place for entertaining and gathering. Make great meals in this updated kitchen w/a pantry and pass-through window. You don’t have to look to far, to enter the large mud room w/ copper colored tin tiled ceiling. Convenience is the word for the first-floor laundry a& bath. Take the classic staircase, with original banisters, up to the 3 BRs inclusive closets w/ custom shelving. Two bedrooms share a jack/jill bath. The primary BR has am ensuite BA with floor to ceiling tiles. The basement is drywalled for you to make it your own. Already wired for 75” TV. Exercise room also a storm shelter to keep your family safe. The outdoor living has a 25’ x 25’ deck w/ storage space to put away extra chairs. 25’ x 50’ patio with a gazebo and garden shed.
