About this home
Step into a piece of History with this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated home! Built in 1890 and once the original hub of Shanahan’s Express, where horse-and-carriage deliveries evolved into the age of automobiles, this property sits just a few lots from the town's "Community Center" - where you can partake in the community gardens, tennis courts, little league baseball, playground and of course rent out the center for showers, parties and fellowship! Rich with character and charm, this residence offers deceptively spacious rooms, timeless craftsmanship, and modern conveniences throughout.
From the Inviting enclosed front porch to the expansive off-street driveway, the home’s curb appeal is undeniably adorable. Inside, Original hardwood floors with intricate inlay set the tone, while the oversized Living Room, formerly separate parlor spaces now features an elegant arched detail that create a warm, open atmosphere. A versatile Den with dual French doors offers the perfect space for a home office or main-level bedroom.
The formal Dining Room is generously sized and includes a dedicated china closet, ideal for entertaining. Just beyond, the recently updated Kitchen (2023) blends style and function with Quartz and butcher block countertop, stainless steel appliances, and a sunlit breakfast area that opens onto a large rear Deck complete with a sunshade, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. A convenient Half Bath and main-floor Laundry add to the ease of everyday living.
Upstairs, you’ll find 4 Spacious Bedrooms and an updated Full Bathroom with step in shower. The walk-up Attic presents exciting potential for a private suite, studio, or additional living space! Comfort is ensured year-round with 2-zoned Gas heating (lower level replaced in 2022) and Central Air (installed just 4 years ago) and hot water heater replaced in 2020. Original chestnut Woodwork throughout the home adds a touch of timeless elegance too!
