This remarkable home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, offering charm, comfort, and exceptional versatility. Extensive renovations completed 2018-2019, along with recent improvements—including fresh exterior paint (2025), a newly glazed and sealed roof (2023), and a new bath—ensure peace of mind while preserving historic appeal. Relax on the inviting front porch overlooking a lushly landscaped garden featuring a custom birdbath water feature, creating a serene welcome home. Inside, the foyer opens to a gracious dining room on one side and spacious living room on the other—perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. The renovated kitchen is a standout, featuring beautifully finished cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, Whirlpool appliances, a striking blue backsplash, wall oven, built-in microwave, electric cooktop, and a charming bar area with glass-front cabinets. A fully updated first-floor bathroom offers a walk-in tile shower. Upstairs, original pine floors lead to an impressive primary suite complete with a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, abundant natural light, a walk-in closet with custom fixtures and storage island, and an updated en-suite bath with walk-in tile shower and upgraded vanity. Laundry is conveniently located on this level. Two additional large bedrooms complete the second floor. The third floor offers two more bedrooms—one currently used as a studio—providing endless options for guests, offices, or creative space. Adding to the home's exceptional value is its income-producing potential. Two separate apartment spaces—each with a private exterior entrance, kitchen, laundry, private bath, and spacious bedroom with sitting area—can easily be converted back to apartments or used as in-law or guest quarters. One is located on the main floor and the other on the second floor.
