The main floor features 9-foot ceilings and an open, airy layout. Natural light pours in through newer windows, while the inviting fireplace creates a cozy focal point. The spacious dining room easily fits a large family table—perfect for gatherings and memory-making. Thoughtful details, like a built-in reading bench under the windows, add a touch of charm.

A second bedroom offers access to a sunroom, formerly a classic sleeping porch. The full bath upstairs includes charming built-in storage.
