Rich in architectural character and thoughtfully updated for modern living, this distinguished home blends timeless craftsmanship with sophisticated contemporary finishes. Offering nearly 2,000 square feet, the home features 4 spacious bedrooms, including a top-floor primary suite and two beautifully renovated bathrooms. Refinished hardwood floors, designer-selected paint, curated lighting, and refined finishes create a warm and elegant atmosphere throughout. The dramatic living room showcases soaring cathedral ceilings, magnificent bay windows, and a stunning original fireplace. A formal dining room surrounded by windows offers an inviting setting for entertaining, while the updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, and a charming breakfast nook.

Thoughtful updates include a comprehensive electrical upgrade with removal of knob-and-tube wiring and a new code-compliant system. An attached garage with interior access adds convenience, while two lower-level spaces offer flexibility for a gym, wine cellar, studio, workshop, office, or creative retreat.
