Designated an important historic landmark, the home has undergone significant updates to electrical, plumbing, and major systems, making it truly move-in ready.

A two-car garage further enhances versatility, featuring a heated office with sweeping lawn and woodland views and potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit.
