    What's special

    Calling all old house lovers! Do not be surprised if you feel like you've stepped into the set of an Architectural Digest photo shoot when you enter this home. The character and historic charm of this property is unmatched and a master decorator's touch graces every surface. Upon purchasing this property, the owner began renovating it by refinishing the gorgeous hardwood floors, painting it in classic, bold colors, choosing and installing incredible period light fixtures, upgrading the kitchen with crown molding, refinished cabinets, and installing new appliances and granite countertops. The spacious floor plan is practical and the walk-up, full-sized attic would allow for additional square footage that could easily accommodate two more bedrooms. Take note that the first floor bathroom is split with the powder room situation off the butler's pantry and the shower placed in the first floor bedroom next to the laundry area. The central AC is brand new (installed June 2019!). The garage is listed as one car, but it is almost two cars in length (truly over-sized). If you are looking for a unique property that will put its boring, cookie cutter competition to shame, this is the house for you! (Note: water softener is leased). Disclosure: The listing agent is the seller's daughter.
