Home Details

Step Into History with Modern Comforts. Built before 1895, this charming semi-detached home is a beautiful blend of timeless character and thoughtful updates, ready to welcome its next chapterand yours. From the moment you arrive, the home enchants with its newly refreshed, gingerbread-trimmed front porch, original hairpin iron fence, classic brick walkways, and an original front door that tells stories of a bygone era. Inside, the craftsmanship of the 19th century is immediately evident in the refinished, random-width heart of pine floors that run throughout. The living room showcases a stunning original mantle flanked by built-in bookshelves, and a striking 3-over-3 light front window with handmade glass, flooding the space with warm, natural light. The layout feels surprisingly modern, with an open floor plan that enhances flow and connectivity. A thoughtfully designed breakfast bar peninsula opens the kitchen further into the living space, allowing light to stream in from a beautiful stained glass window. The kitchen is a chefs delight, featuring a slate floor, granite countertops, and newer stainless steel appliancesincluding a dishwasher and built-in microwave. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and an updated hall bathroom. The main bedroom is especially generous, with two large windows and a well-optimized closet for storage. Out back, a large deck and yard with flowering shrubs provide the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or quiet moments of relaxation. Recent updates include energy-efficient double-pane sash windows, a recoated roof, a new hot water heater (2021), freshly painted exterior trim, and new porch steps. Dont miss your chance to own a piece of history with all the comforts of today.
