A heritage tree-lined drive leads to the residence, framed by established landscaping, gorgeous brick walkways surrounding the home, landscape lighting, covered porches, and a renovated in-ground pool. Dating back to the late 1700s, with additions completed in the early 1800s, the home has been thoughtfully restored and updated while preserving its historic integrity and original craftsmanship. Offering an estimated 5,060 square feet, the property includes six bedrooms and four and a half baths across the main residence and separate in-law suite.

A storage closet beneath the main staircase and extensive built-in cabinetry throughout the connecting gallery to the in-law suite provide exceptional functional storage rarely found in historic homes. The second level includes the primary suite with a large walk-in closet, private kitchenette, fireplace, and ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms are located on this level, each featuring fireplaces, with one offering an ensuite bathroom.
