Welcome home to this lovingly maintained Victorian farmhouse. Immediately upon first gaze, realize the years of history and charm that come along with this original family-owned and built home.This four bedroom, one and one half bath home is a dead ringer for Joanna Gaines and Magnolia Home with near endless original, historic character and patina that simply can~t be replicated. Move-in ready or renovate, it~s your dream to live. The custom built trim, and built-in cabinets warm the home while modern upgrades ensure your worry-free comfort for years to come.From the wrap-around porches that simply beg for a good book or a great friend; stepping inside be greeted by the guilded entry foyer and show-stopping custom stairway. This traditional main floor features a parlor/living room with fire place and large windows, an updated galley kitchen and main level laundry with formal dining room, centrally located powder bath, and large natural light filled family room with another fireplace. You can~t miss the fireplace featuring an irreplaceable, ornate hand-lathed and carved mantle. Original hardwood floors and architectural finishes gleam from years of heart-felt care and character.Stepping upstairs, be amazed by the dynamic architectural accents and stylings from handmade wood trim and transom windows featuring original hardware, to chandeliers and hand finished custom plaster archways. Three large, private bedrooms offer plenty of space, while a fourth bedroom or office/nursery off of the master enjoys a separate hall entrance to use as you see fit. The full bath on the upper level has an adjacent sitting room which could easily be finished into second full bath. Just off of the sitting room, a comfortably sized 2nd floor balcony overlooks the grounds and rolling hills of Middletown Valley with a breathtaking Braddock Mountain backdrop. An attic access off the fourth bedroom features a full size stairwell for ease of potentially finishing the large attic.

Stepping outside from the kitchen, a well-appointed patio is great for grilling, socializing or finding yet another quaint space to enjoy the solitude of your home.
