The home’s soft blue exterior, framed by century oaks and a white picket fence, embodies the grace and craftsmanship of the period. The broad front porch welcomes you into a light-filled foyer that immediately conveys the sense of history and hospitality this home has long represented. To the left, a spacious living room stretches nearly twenty-six feet, centered around a painted brick fireplace and surrounded by windows that capture the natural light from morning to evening. The adjoining formal dining room retains its original millwork and seamlessly connects to a cheerful kitchen, designed with both charm and functionality in mind. The kitchen features butcher-block counters, glass-front cabinetry, open shelving, and a breakfast nook overlooking the backyard.
The main level includes two powder rooms, including one conveniently placed near the rear entry. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms and three full baths offer comfort and flexibility. Three of the bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, a highly desirable feature that enhances privacy and usability for residents and guests alike. The thoughtful floor plan allows for numerous lifestyle possibilities, making this home well-suited for an owner-occupied bed and breakfast, a creative live-work environment, or a distinctive primary residence filled with character and warmth.
Outdoors, the fenced backyard offers a private and shaded retreat under a canopy of mature trees. There is ample space for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining, complemented by a deck and a detached storage shed. The gravel drive offers convenient off-street parking, and tasteful landscaping enhances the home’s enduring curb appeal. Every element reflects care and preservation—from the beautifully maintained wood floors and trim to updates in paint, lighting, and exterior presentation.
