From the moment you enter, original details take center stage, including a show-stopping fireplace surround and the charming tiled floor of the sunroom. Designed for both gracious entertaining and everyday living, the symmetrical first floor offers inviting living and dining rooms, a light-filled family room and sunroom, and an updated kitchen finished with new quartz countertops and a fresh tile backsplash.
