A cozy ambiance envelops the home, emanating from six working fireplaces and a woodstove in the family room, fostering intimate gatherings and cherished memories. Radiant heat on the first floor ensures year-round comfort.

Unwind on the delightful screen porch with a captivating mahogany floor outside and a fir floor inside, adorned with a stenciled pattern, a tranquil haven surrounded by nature.

Exquisite chandeliers, hardwired period wall sconces, and ceiling fans grace the rooms, exuding elegance and authenticity. Illuminating the exterior, charming onion lamps evoke the essence of bygone days.

The dining room showcases a built-in hutch, epitomizing craftsmanship and attention to detail. Most of the period furniture thoughtfully included, preserving the home’s authentic character.
