Charming gambrel-roof farmhouse offering timeless country character, classic curb appeal, and beautifully preserved early-1900s craftsmanship in pristine condition throughout. Inspired by traditional American farmhouse and cottage architecture, the home's distinctive barn-style roofline, covered front porch, and classic lap siding create a warm, welcoming presence that stands out from the ordinary. A spacious front porch accented by decorative columns, black railings, and a striking star detail provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The steep gambrel roofline, upper-level windows, and symmetrical design enhance the home's unmistakable farmhouse appeal, while the neatly maintained lawn, sidewalk, and attractive streetscape complete the inviting first impression. Step in side to discover a home rich in character, architectural detail, and exceptional care. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors greet you in the foyer, complemented by a stunning mahogany staircase and pristine original trim that showcase the quality craftsmanship. The spacious living room is filled with warmth and charm, anchored by a corner fireplace featuring an ornate wood mantel, decorative tile hearth, and original inlay. An open passageway leads to the formal dining room, where a traditional built-in china hutch provides both elegance and functionality. The bright and inviting kitchen perfectly blends modern convenience with historic charm. Crisp white cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, open shelving, and a stylish tile backsplash create a fresh, updated feel, while the classic black-and-white checkerboard floor adds timeless personality. Original wood doors, rich green trim, tall ceilings, and detailed millwork preserve the home's authentic character. Ample cabinet storage, a gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and convenient mudroom access make this kitchen as practical as it is memorable. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms provide comfortable living space, while the beautiful original woodwork continues throughout the second floor, adding warmth and continuity to the home's historic appeal. In addition to the existing closet space, the primary bedroom includes a coordinated furniture package that will remain with the home, featuring wardrobe-style storage cabinets, a dresser, and matching mirror. These pieces provide exceptional supplemental storage and organization options while complementing the room's generous dimensions, making it easy to maximize functionality without sacrificing floor space. A charming bathroom features a creative and character-filled repurposing of a vintage built-in hutch, now serving as elegant linen storage. The basement offers laundry facilities along with a spacious storage room. Outside, enjoy a private fenced backyard, large storage shed, and valuable off-street parking. A new roof installed in 2023 adds peace of mind and long-term value. Meticulously maintained and move-in ready, this home showcases a rare combination of historic character, pristine condition, and thoughtful updates. Whether you're drawn to classic architecture, or simply desire a home with warmth, personality, and enduring charm, this is a truly special opportunity to own a timeless farmhouse treasure.
