The spacious kitchen is a true gathering place, complete with a center island featuring a newer cooktop, prep area, sink, partial butcher block countertop, a large breakfast bar and adding to its historic charm is a brick hearth alcove—originally used for a wood or coal stove—now a character-rich focal point with endless potential. A spacious room off the kitchen is partially being used as the laundry room which adds everyday functionality. Outside, a 2 story 37x47 detached carriage house with 3,478 sq ft, offers endless possibilities with its original horse stalls, hay racks, cobblestone floors, cabinetry, water, electric, and a wood stove. This a great multi-purpose structure and could also be used as a garage, workshop, or creative space—the possibilities are endless.
