This wood-burning fireplace is operational and offers peace of mind improvements.

Inside, original character blends seamlessly with a modern paint palette creating a warm and inviting entry. Wood floors have been refinished, along with fresh paint on walls, windows and trim throughout.

Oversized windows cascade around the perimeter of the room capturing natural light from nearly every angle. The light in this room is simply unparalleled - this is a space you will love coming home to.

The sellers took the initiative to open up the adjacent dining room - widening arches and rebuilding an existing, too-steep staircase. The result is an effortless dining space that can be dressed up or down for the occasion. The Rejuvenation center chandelier adds style without compromising on site lines.

This kitchen is packed with a deceiving amount of storage. Two large windows expand the space while uninterrupted quartz counters offers plenty of room for prep.

Downstairs, brand new carpet has been installed in the cozy family room. Plenty of room to serve dual purpose as a TV zone and dedicated work out space or otherwise.

Additional unfinished storage space offers room for a workshop, additional refrigerator or freezer or plenty of seasonal storage.
