Description

A true architectural treasure, this magnificent Tudor-style home, originally constructed in 1876, has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its historic character. Rich with timeless charm, intricate craftsmanship, and a commanding presence, this exceptional residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history without sacrificing comfort, efficiency, or peace of mind. Over the past several years, nearly every major component of the home has been carefully updated. A new roof was installed in 2021, along with a complete replacement of the plumbing, electrical systems, and sewer line to the street, high-efficiency Bosch HVAC systems, and new water heaters. The new kitchen (2026), seamlessly blends modern design with the home's historic elegance, while beautifully renovated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, updated walls, and refinished hardwood flooring further enhance the home's appeal. The grand staircase has been meticulously restored, preserving a focal point that reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Upstairs, new luxury vinyl plank flooring provides durability and style, while most replacement windows throughout the home improve efficiency without compromising character. Tuck pointing, fresh exterior paint, and updated front porch and rear deck spaces ensure the home's exterior is as impressive as its interior. This is more than a home, it is a legacy property ready to be enjoyed for generations to come.
