Four bedrooms, two baths, 2,320 sq ft of authentic character. New roof on house and garage (2026). New furnace (January 2025). New siding on the north and upper west sides of the house. Hardwood floors and original 1900 woodwork run throughout the main level, filled with natural light from large picture windows. The kitchen features Corian counters, a farmer's sink, stainless appliances, tall cabinets, and a spacious center island. A generous office/pantry with cabinets and pull-out shelves offers rare storage flexibility. The updated main floor bath includes an authentic water closet. Main-floor laundry. A bright solarium fills with morning light. A separate three-season cedar porch opens the main level to the outdoors. A wood-burning stove anchors the main house. Upstairs, four inviting bedrooms feature pine floors. An updated bath offers a double-bowl vanity. Built-in bookshelves flank each end of the hallway, a small but distinctive touch. Above it all sits a versatile 800 sq ft cedar-finished walk-up attic with tall peaked ceilings. Studio, office, playroom, hobby space, storage. The next owner decides.
