This historic property was built in 1863 and incorporates the original beauty of the stone walls, original doors and 7 ft. x 3 ft. windows into a sleek open lifestyle. The 9.5 ft. ceiling that houses the first floor living space is filled with all the conveniences of today's fast-paced world. The kitchen with the original brick floors boats a stainless steel counter depth refrigerator, a stainless steel gas convection stove with double ovens, a matching built-in microwave and recessed lighting. The original pantry with floor to ceiling shelves remains in perfect harmony. The beautiful original wood floors on the first level were totally refinished and are stained a rich dark hue in sharp contrast to the freshly painted walls in a bright light neutral. The 6 extra large windows flank the living space on both sides and allow for plenty of natural light and emphasize the open living sensation. A recently installed direct vent gas stove w/remote control provides an additional glow to the lst floor. A top of the line new high efficiency gas heater and high efficiency gas hot water heater are installed to ensure your quick and lasting comfort. The large open staircase strategically centered leads to an equally appealing open and bright second floor. The second level flooring was refinished in a light hue that bounces brightness off the newly installed skylights. The roof and plywood was completely replaced with lifetime shingles. The house has an insulation rating of R30 blown in foam insulation. The large window that actually consists of 4 separate windows was replaced with Anderson Renewal Windows. New drywall was installed over the original paneled ceiling. The owner left no stone unturned adding central vac, custom wood blinds and a new chandelier The outside has a slate patio and stone wall, a large utility shed, a freshly painted shed and a secret lounge area. The property is completely fenced for your furry friends protection, beautiful well-manicured gardens and a bright red tree swing for those lazy days. This well loved and well maintained property is charming, romantic, relaxing and enticing!
