Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully reimagined with new flooring, contemporary lighting, and modern fixtures that bring a fresh, elevated feel while respecting the home's original charm. The kitchen stands out as a showpiece, complete with quartz countertops, elegant cabinetry, a stylish tile backsplash, and state of the art stainless steel appliances, creating a space that feels both refined and functional. The first floor owner's suite offers a level of convenience that is hard to find in a home of this era, featuring generous closet space and a beautifully remodeled bathroom with a clean, modern design. Upstairs, a spacious gathering area provides flexibility for a second living space, office, or media room, while two large bedrooms each enjoy their own fully updated en suite bathrooms, offering comfort and privacy for family or guests. Beyond the finishes, the work behind the walls is just as impressive. With new windows, roof, gutters, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing, this home delivers the confidence of modern systems within a historic setting. This is more than a renovation. It's a chance to own a piece of history without sacrificing the ease of today's living. Opportunities like this are few and far between, and this one is ready to welcome its next chapter.
