Wide period trim and solid doors, crown moulding, vintage light fixtures and hardware, marble tile, and many of the architectural detail features you would expect. Tremendous amount of shaker style oak cabinetry, many uppers with glass panel doors in the oversized kitchen and gathering room which encloses the previous summer kitchen. Library/den area features built-in shelves, Two more bedrooms and a bonus room/walk-in closet and half bath are upstairs. Vintage floor grates are still in place to provide return and warm air with zoned heating (no central air). Deck overlooks the backyard. Basement cellar holds the mechanicals and provides some storage. Off-street or on-street parking, but former barn foundation outlines the potential for a new garage site to serve the new owner. We've left good room and upside at the current price for the perceived upgrades that a new owner would pursue. What an opportunity to enjoy the exciting downtown energy and witness community parades from your front porch. Tour this stately home and let your imagination create your own history right here.
