About This Home

As of January 2023

This classic Queen Anne Victorian style home boasts 5 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 4 intricately designed fireplaces with Chelsea tile details, several carved mantels, ornate stained glass windows, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The impressive architectural details of the large entryway focus on a grand staircase, with the dining room, library, living room, sitting room, half bath, kitchen, and pantry on the main level. A 7 ft stained glass window highlights the staircase to the second floor, where all 5 bedrooms are located and a full bath. There is a secondary staircase with close proximity to the kitchen. The attic is partially finished with another 3 potential bedrooms, no heat is on this level. Large two car detached garage is a great footprint for additional use.
