Throughout the home, you'll notice pristine original details like stained glass, woodwork, and antique doorknobs and doors, balanced by nearly all new windows, updated roofing, paint, flooring, and more. Upstairs, three oversized bedrooms each feature generous walk-in closets and sweeping views of your acreage. A second bathroom and a finished third-floor bonus space with skylights round out the upper levels—perfect for a playroom, office, or guest suite.

Outside, the setup is just as impressive.
