About this home
Traditional 2.5 story home offering timeless character paired with thoughtful, functional updates throughout. A large enclosed front porch welcomes you in and sets the tone for the home. Step into a proper foyer with an open staircase that anchors the center of the main level. The formal living room sits just off the entry and features a wood burning fireplace and beautiful original hardwood flooring and woodwork. From there, the space flows naturally into a cozy den highlighted by a tin ceiling, offering a quieter second living area or reading room. The formal dining room connects seamlessly through a double butler pantry corridor into the updated kitchen. The kitchen includes a counter height island and practical layout that supports everyday living while maintaining connection to the original architectural flow of the home. Upstairs you will find three well-proportioned bedrooms and a luxury full bath. The bathroom has been fully updated with heated natural stone tile floors, a walk-in shower, and an oversized jetted tub. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet along with an additional dressing room or sitting room that can function as a nursery or private office space. The fourth bedroom is located on the third floor walk-up, offering flexible use as a guest space, studio, or retreat. The finished basement adds even more living space with a bright family room and areas for a home office, gym, or hobby space. Original character details carry throughout the home including leaded glass windows, rich woodwork, and hardwood floors that have been carefully preserved. Outside, the home is beautifully landscaped with multiple seating areas and a pergola, creating inviting spaces for relaxation and entertaining. A detached garage currently serves as storage but offers potential for additional living space, workshop, or creative studio use. This is a traditional home that has been consistently maintained and meaningfully updated while preserving its original charm and architectural integrity. Call today to schedule your private tour!
