**The Sellers Wanted to Take This House With Them!** From the moment you step inside, you’ll see why. This well-loved and meticulously cared-for home features 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, brimming with character and timeless appeal. Enter through the nearly perfect vintage front door, and you’re immediately greeted by soaring 9-foot ceilings that extend throughout the home. The spacious foyer is large enough to accommodate furniture and showcases a stunning burled oak fireplace—one of six original to the structure. A beautiful staircase and an eye-catching raised panel wall add to the home's historic charm. Original wood floors, intricate woodwork, mantels, and WORKING pocket doors complete the picture. The windows have been thoughtfully updated with historically appropriate double-paned sashes, featuring wood casings and interior trim that honor the original design. The first floor includes a living room, formal dining room, and a kitchen with a butler’s pantry that now doubles as a laundry area. A built-in china closet in the dining room and a brick accent wall in the kitchen pay homage to the home’s vintage roots. The cabinetry in the butler’s pantry/laundry area is original to the house. A powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and three more original fireplaces. The primary bedroom adjoins a finished “sleeping porch,” expanding the space and offering the perfect spot for a private coffee bar or a sunlit home office. The upstairs bathroom is spacious and updated with a walk-in shower. The third-floor attic is a floored, unfinished space measuring approximately 28' x 30'—offering over 800 square feet of potential. Whether you envision a studio, guest suite, or simply need extra storage, this space is ready for your personal touch.
