It blends modern updates, including a new furnace & heat pump (Jan 2025), electrical, plumbing, windows, front door, masonary repointed, stonework, M/L bathroom, and flooring, to name a few. Its original charm portrays impressive high ceilings, handcrafted wood-carved motifs, two original staircases, wide plank hardwood, traditional deep box-sashed windows with cozy nooks & deep extra window seats everywhere you turn, and intricate trim/mouldings. The main floor boasts a bright foyer, the great room; historically, the parlour, enhanced by a stone fireplace surround, mantle, dry bar & sitting room along with a pedigreed formal dining room, and welcoming country kitchen & eating area, a three-piece bathroom, and main floor laundry room with a separate entrance & second staircase.
