From the moment you enter the home, the gracious foyer and sweeping staircase set the tone—reminders of a time when craftsmanship and detail were still ''a thing.'' You immediately sense the spaciousness that modern construction sacrifices in the name of efficiency. Richly colored heart pine floors, tall ceilings, timeless moldings, and airy galleries showcase the beauty of a bygone era. True divided light windows—crafted with individual panes—catch the sunlight in a way that only century-old glass can. The grounds, framed by mature specimen trees, feel like a natural extension of the home providing space to breathe, gather, and grow.
On the main floor of the home, the flow is effortless. The kitchen seamlessly connects to a breakfast nook, a spacious laundry room with built-ins for pantry space, and a cozy screened porch—the perfect spot for morning coffee. Off the kitchen is a light-filled, spacious family room with views to the beautiful backyard. The family room has built-in shelves and a fireplace, along with a convenient vestibule entry from the side of the house where there is ample off-street parking, adding ease and practicality to everyday living.
