Offering 2,079 heated square feet (2,673 total square feet), this timeless two-story residence has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its original character while providing today's most desired updates. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the expansive covered front porch, classic architecture, and side portico. Inside, soaring 9+ foot ceilings, freshly painted interiors, original glass doorknobs, and gorgeous hardwood floors create a warm, inviting atmosphere filled with historic charm. The home has undergone extensive improvements, including a roof in 2020, updated plumbing and electrical systems, new fixtures and chandeliers, 5/8-inch drywall throughout, spray foam attic insulation, and new rolled insulation in the walls—offering the comfort and efficiency of a modern home while maintaining its historic appeal. The kitchen features KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, porcelain tile flooring, and ample space for gathering. Matching porcelain tile continues into the laundry room and bathrooms, while the hardwood floors extend throughout the remaining living spaces and bedrooms.
