About this home

In the same family for decades, this exquisite 1887 Victorian is ready for its next chapter. Rich in character and timeless charm, this grand home showcases intricate, ornate woodwork, soaring ceilings, and mostly hardwood floors throughout. The first floor offers an eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, fireplaced living room, convenient half bath, and a light-filled three-season room with exterior access to a private deck overlooking the level backyard. The second floor features three spacious bedrooms and a full bath, while the third floor provides three additional bedrooms and another full bath—ideal for guests, home offices, or extended living. Recent updates include a brand-new furnace and water heater. An attached two-level outbuilding offers exceptional flexibility as a garage, workshop, or storage barn. This property is being sold as is and presents a wonderful opportunity for buyers to bring their vision and updates to a truly special home filled with history and warmth.
