This charming home blends historic character with modern upgrades, including oak floors, a cozy fireplace, screened front and back porches, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with granite countertops, full-extension cabinetry, oversized Rachiele copper farmhouse sink, induction cooktop, vented hood, Miele combi-steam oven, and GE conventional oven. The primary bedroom offers a 5' x 10' walk-in closet and direct access to the screened back porch.
