The inviting living room is filled with character, featuring a gas fireplace, original hardwood floors, and beautiful light fixtures. Off the living room is a heated sunroom with lovely French doors -- an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee, curl up with a good book, or, as it has been for the sellers, a favorite play space for kids and grandkids. The formal dining room offers another cozy side porch perfect for relaxing and includes a convenient pass-through to the charming kitchen, creating an open and connected feel without sacrificing defined spaces. The kitchen offers ample cabinetry and a vintage stove, adding to the home's timeless appeal. Just off the kitchen, a mudroom with pantry storage leads to the backyard and a one-car detached garage. The main level is completed by three spacious bedrooms with generous closets and a roomy bathroom currently featuring a tub, with plenty of space to create your dream bathroom. Throughout the home you'll find historic millwork and original hardwood floors, which were protected by carpeting for many years and have just been uncovered. The solid, unfinished basement offers excellent potential for future living space and includes a built-in bar custom designed for the space, a safe with combination, a shower, and multiple storage rooms. Full of charm, space, and lasting quality, this well-built home has truly stood the test of time and is ready for its next chapter -- perfect for anyone who loves strolling to the library, enjoying downtown dining, or unwinding after a day of hiking the nearby parks.
