About This Home

As of June 2026

Step into the front entry—reminiscent of a grand hall—where beautiful natural woodwork and a stunning staircase create an impressive first impression of this circa 1845 home. The front door is accented with a transom and sidelights, filling the space with natural light and highlighting the home’s architectural charm. A living room or library with built-in shelves and a gas fireplace adds warmth and versatility, while the main level also features a bedroom and full bath. The primary bedroom showcases beautiful pine floors and a charming bay window wall that brings in natural light and architectural interest. The upper level offers 2 bedrooms and a spacious full bath, providing comfortable and private living space. The lower level is designed for everyday living and entertaining, featuring the kitchen, with wine fridge, trash compactor, and additional sink is perfect for a coffee bar. Dining room and family room with an exposed limestone wall. Half bath for added convenience. This level offers walk-out access to the screened porch and beautifully landscaped yard. The porch is uniquely built into the limestone retaining wall and is also accessible from the side yard via a staircase leading down. There is also a hot tub outside the lower level making this a true retreat by enjoying the nicely landscaped yard complete with a sprinkler system and a garden shed. A wonderful opportunity to own a character-filled home in a sought-after historic setting. Solar Panels are in place.
