About This Home
As of March 2025Nothing but charm here! Originally a cottage overlooking the sylvan woods, this home has been in the same family since 1947.

This is a once in a lifetime house! Treasures include edge-cut fir floors, 9ft ceilings in many rooms, a first floor primary suite with 2 full baths large walk-in closet and laundry, 3 bedrooms/1bath on the second floor. The deep pour lower level encompasses 1 bedroom, sitting room, workroom, full bath and 2nd kitchen (microwave and refrigerator drawers) & laundry room, perfect for an au pair or live- in.
