Experience timeless sophistication in this remarkable 6 bedroom, 3 full bath historic residence, where grand architectural detail and refined modern updates come together beautifully. From the moment you enter the impressive foyer, you are greeted by gleaming hardwood floors, decorative wainscoting, intricate millwork, and a striking staircase that reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The main level offers two bedrooms, expansive living spaces, and an elegant formal dining room designed for memorable gatherings. The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink, abundant cabinetry, and a generous peninsula that opens seamlessly into the dining area. The luxurious primary suite is a private sanctuary with its own fireplace, an oversized walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed ensuite bath complete with a soaking tub and separate shower. All three full bathrooms have been tastefully updated, while the finished third level provides exceptional flexibility for additional bedrooms, guest accommodations, a private office, or recreation space. The outdoor setting is equally impressive, featuring a grand front porch with swing, second level patio, elegant gazebo, dedicated grilling area, and a private tree-lined backyard surrounded by mature landscaping. Additional highlights include a carport, 2 car garage, and a basement with approximately 10 foot ceilings offering outstanding storage and future finishing potential.
