The pride of ownership is evident throughout, from the freshly painted exterior to the thoughtful updates that preserve the home's historic character. Exposed beams, gorgeous wood floors, and a warm, inviting layout create a timeless atmosphere that feels both authentic and comfortable. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring a farmhouse sink, center island, walk-in pantry, and woodstove that adds both charm and warmth. A convenient first-floor half bath with laundry adds everyday practicality. The second floor offers a full bath, office area, primary bedroom, and two additional bedrooms. Outside, the grounds have been lovingly cultivated with mature perennial gardens, attractive landscaping, and a beautiful patio that invites you to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. On summer evenings, lightning bugs can often be seen dancing along the tree line. Gardeners will appreciate the fenced garden area with raised beds, while hobbyists and fitness enthusiasts will find exceptional bonus spaces in the heated workshop and dedicated exercise room with its own heat pump. A carport provides covered parking, completing a property that reflects decades of attentive care and respect for its historic roots. This is a home that has been cherished, and it shows.
