Positioned on a high first floor and filled with natural light, this beautiful home showcases walnut-stain hardwood floors, classic millwork, crown molding, high ceilings, and a stunning limestone surround gas-log fireplace that anchors the spacious living room. The versatile south-facing sunroom, framed by bay windows and three exposures, provides the perfect space for a home office, reading lounge, or additional dining area connected to both living and formal dining rooms. Elegant 4-panel French doors create a charming transition between the living room and formal dining room, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Custom framed artwork panels add style to the dining room (currently used as an additional family room). The updated chef's kitchen features white cabinetry, quartz countertops with overhang for bar stools, stainless steel appliances, and abundant storage with wall of pantry cabinets. Both bathrooms were previously renovated, blending contemporary finishes with the home's historic character.
