The home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with attention to both historic integrity and today's lifestyle. The inviting living room features the home's original fireplace, a beautiful historic detail that serves as a focal point, though it has not been used by the current owner. High ceilings and large windows fill the space with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bright, eat-in kitchen offers ample cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining or entertaining. The owner's suite is a true retreat, featuring dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms offer versatility for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. A full guest bathroom serves the upper level, while a convenient half bath is located on the main floor for everyday living. Outdoor living is at the heart of this home's appeal.
