NEW PRICE! Own a Home with Character That Can Never Be Recreated. ✨

Some homes are built…others are crafted.

If you’re searching for a home with authentic character, exceptional craftsmanship, and timeless beauty, this is it.

The remodeled kitchen blends modern convenience with classic style, while the original fireplace—now featuring gas logs—creates the perfect place to gather.

The finished attic offers a private primary suite full of charm. Enjoy mornings in the 3-season room overlooking the fully fenced backyard, unwind in the original clawfoot tub, and appreciate the convenience of the original carriage house converted into a spacious 3-car garage with a loft for extra storage.

🏡 Homes with this level of craftsmanship, warmth, and authenticity rarely become available.
