About This Home
Meticulously restored and thoughtfully updated, this exceptional English Tudor blends modern convenience with timeless architectural character. Featuring 4 bedrooms and multiple flexible living spaces, the home offers room to entertain, work, and relax. Original details including beautiful hardwood flooring, arched doorways, and arched openings create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry with recently refinished soft close doors and drawers, while the breakfast nook includes additional cabinetry and solid surface countertops for added storage and functionality. The newly finished lower level expands the living space with a spacious family room, high ceilings, recessed lighting, a dry bar, and a finished laundry area. An additional unfinished room provides the perfect space for a home gym, workshop, or extra storage. Major exterior improvements include a new roof on both the home and garage in 2023, a new membrane roof and railing on the balcony, gutters, and a new fence. Conveniently located near downtown and within walking distance of the library and Hall Street Bakery, this home offers the perfect balance of historic charm, thoughtful updates, and everyday livability.
