Curved walls in 7 of the rooms and attic has an original circular room. Front staircase and plank floors throughout are original. Copious amounts of millwork with wainscot, wide crown in all rooms, and a detailed coffered ceiling in the living room that ties into the oversized fireplace mantle.

The house has been completely restored from the studs with new drywall, finishes, mechanicals and foam insulation. Almost all of the framing in the home is original! This home has not been chopped up like many older homes and has kept nearly the same floor plan its whole life! There also were no signs of any damage found during the restoration.

The attic is fully finished with its own high efficiency heat pump and is very easy to heat and cool. This could be a 4th bedroom, master suite, art/music room, or kids playroom.

The Basement is dry as a bone! It has been fully framed, wired, plumbed and insulated. 30 can lights have been installed and all outlets are finished. There is a 3rd bath in basement which has been roughed in with shower valve and is ready for drywall and tile! There is a 425 sq ft office that is completely finished with the remaining 450 sq ft ready for drywall and flooring. There are 9 new awning windows installed and one large egress window which allow for tons of light.

A roomy mudroom was added in 2014 which makes easy entry to the basement and kitchen. There is a coat nook built in near the kitchen entry and a large additional closet for storage.

All plumbing and electrical throughout the house was replaced in 2011. New high efficiency furnace and air conditioner installed in 2013. High efficiency heat pump for attic was installed in 2015. Electrical service wire was buried underground in 2015 and is 200amp. There is a high quality tankless water heater for endless hot water(2015)!

In 2015 a premium garage foundation was installed for a 24x24 two car garage and is ready to build! A new double driveway, approach, sidewalks and front steps were also installed in 2015. Retaining wall and cap was installed in 2014. Gutters were buried at the time the wall was built. A stamped patio was installed in 2014. Lawn edging and flower beds were installed 2016. A new privacy fence was installed in 2015.

Front and back porches were built in 2015. The porch foundations are new and new brick columns were laid. The porch skirting has integrated doors to allow for full access storage under both porches. There are poured concrete pads under each porch to allow for clean storage.

New fascia and premium gutters with premium gutter guards installed on the main house in 2013. New gutters on porches in 2017. In 2013, 43 of the 45 windows in the home were replaced with high quality double and triple pane vinyl windows.

Exterior was painted in 2016. Most of the interior was repainted in 2016-17.

The kitchen is laid out very well and is very functional with tons of storage. There is a large pantry closet in addition to the cabinetry. Doors and drawers have soft closing hardware. There is LED under cabinet lighting and lighting in the glass cabinets.

The first floor bath is fully tiled with natural slate. The upstairs bath boasts almost 400 sq ft of marble tile, a deep soaking tub, a double vanity with stone top, and a double shower with tile bench. There is a walk in laundry room on the second floor as well as secondary laundry hook ups in the basement.

A wonderful Victorian restoration that's ready to enjoy!

    "Dogs are welcome and I have never seen one loose. Some people do not pick up their animals waste, which I think is very rude.. the “Dog Run” is not what is perceived on the pamphlets, it is very small fenced in area..so everyone just lets their dogs go on any grassy area"
