Restored from the studs in 2003-2004 to echo its original 1911 architecture, the residence seamlessly blends classic elegance with contemporary comfort.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the warmth of hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout the home, creating an inviting ambiance. The heart of the home lies in the chef's kitchen, adorned with solid wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and soapstone counters. This culinary haven seamlessly flows into the family room, offering stunning views of the yard and deck, perfect for hosting gatherings and creating cherished memories. The master suite is a sanctuary of relaxation, offering a lavish Kohler spa shower, a generous walk-in closet, and a private deck where you can bask in the tranquility of your surroundings.
