About This Home

As of July 2014

This one of a kind Victorian pairs the comforts of modern living with the rich elegance of a restored antique home. The high ceilings and enchanting light fixtures create an unparalleled atmosphere. The new windows, new appliances, renovated bathrooms, new kitchen cabinets, central air, and finished basement offer modern convenience. Refinished rich oak hardwood floors and exposed trim run throughout. The breakfast room, pantry, sun porch, and grand front porch make this a must see. Mature flowering gardens, striking old world elegance with crown and chair rail mouldings. Multi-room finished basement with recessed lighting and laundry. Exposed woodwork, stained glass, and plenty of storage.
