Newly restored, hip, historic 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Victorian sits just four blocks from one of the best small towns in America. This red brick beauty combines the past with the present: original hardwood floors, pocket doors, a clawfoot tub, antique furniture, and gorgeous wood ceilings with brand-new bathrooms, a fully-stocked kitchen, flat-screen TVs, a retro arcade console with 60 games, and a turn table with your favorite vinyl. Sophisticated, but also warm, inviting, and very comfortable.
The home was built in 1897. We purchased the property in September 2022 and made significant upgrades including completely redoing the kitchen and two bathrooms. The home retains the beautiful original hardwood floors, doors, casings, wood ceilings, and more. It has had a charmed history which we showcase along with all the brand new modern comfortable conveniences including two big screen smart TVs, three Alexa spots, high-speed wifi, a smart thermostat, and keyless entry. We furnished the home with a combination of antiques bought locally and brand-new pieces. With all the upgrades, the home is still 125 years old. Many of the windows are original and don’t stay open. We hope to upgrade these in the coming years. Also, with the grooves in the hardwood floors and various spots that are not airtight, no matter how much we clean there may be some residual dust. We appreciate you being a part of staying in a historic home with all her splendor and age.
