This two-story brick beauty showcases timeless craftsmanship, with an abundance of original details, including built-in cabinetry and an era-authentic servants’ staircase off the kitchen. While this home retains its historic aesthetic charm, it has been thoughtfully upgraded with modern plumbing, electrical, and central A/C for effortless living. The home is efficiently heated by a soapstone wood stove—with a full winter’s supply of wood included—copper bladder baseboard heating and a gas stove for added warmth and comfort.The home includes a 500-gallon buried propane tank, providing a reliable and efficient energy source.
