About this home

With newly installed ductless mini-splits for cooling & heat, this architectural masterpiece presents a rare blend of historic craftsmanship and contemporary design. Rich in original detail, the ground floor of this distinctive 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence showcases four entirely different parquet floor patterns — creating a striking first impression that guests won't soon forget. Period fireplaces, elegant coffered ceilings, and timeless Victorian character are thoughtfully paired with modern updates throughout. The anchor of the home is a stunning eat-in kitchen addition constructed in 2021, highlighted by upscale appliances, a generous pantry, and oversized sliding doors leading directly to a private deck and yard for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Spanning multiple levels, the expansive bedrooms provide flexibility for today’s lifestyle, while updated bathrooms offer a refined balance of character and comfort. This property's long list of attractions is rounded out by a long driveway, basement storage and solar panels, which pair especially well with the electric mini-split system, that are owned outright to help reduce utility bills,
