This unique 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern updates, making it the perfect choice for those looking for one-floor living in a vibrant, waterside neighborhood. Pets are welcome, so bring your furry friends along!
The heart of this home is the gorgeous kitchen, which has been completely renovated with soft-close cabinetry, stunning quartz countertops, and a full suite of Whirlpool appliances. There’s plenty of room for a large farm table, perfect for family meals and entertaining. Above, the original hand-hewn beams create a rustic, yet refined atmosphere.
The living room is a nod to Victorian elegance, with a cozy fireplace and beautiful tin ceiling that complements the wide-plank wainscoting, which was updated 120 years ago with intricate moldings. From here, you'll find a formal dining room or office, with a lovely support post and adjoining bedroom featuring the same architectural detail. The second bedroom boasts a striking, exposed brick chimney, adding to the home’s rustic appeal. A charming, retro bathroom on this side of the house features a reclaimed wood countertop with unique carpenter’s marks that tell the story of the home’s history.
At the rear of the house, the expansive master suite occupies what was originally an "English barn." With its vaulted ceiling and exposed post and beam structure, this spacious room brings the outdoors in, with natural light pouring through the south-facing windows.
Outside, the south-facing deck offers a sunny spot for year-round grilling, and the double-deep yard has plenty of space for games, gardening, or even keeping chickens! The property also includes snow plowing for the driveway and water/sewer in the rent.
