There is plenty of space to spread your roots with 1.5 acres of land, fully restored in ground pool and equipment, and 4, 628 square feet of house! Original hardwood floors remain and have been refinished. All bathrooms have been completely overhauled to provide all the modern amenities while retaining their old world charm.
