This beautifully preserved 3-bedroom home offers flexible living space—with one room easily serving as a den or dining room—alongside thoughtful updates that enhance comfort without compromising charm.

The furnace has been professionally serviced annually. Set on a picturesque lot with lovely curb appeal, this property is just a short stroll to the library, local bakery, post office, and more. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history with room to make it your own.
