The master suite features a spacious walk-in closet, ensuring ample storage space for your needs. Adding to the convenience, an inside laundry room has been thoughtfully renovated to streamline household chores. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the vintage crystal doorknobs adorning each door to the updated plumbing and piping, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. Recent updates including a new roof in 2020 and a full rewiring of the house in 2017, coupled with the installation of new vinyl double-paned windows throughout the house, offer both aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency, while the four original front windows maintain the home's historic authenticity. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with historic charm, with the inclusion of a Nest thermostat, enhancing energy efficiency while maintaining optimal comfort levels.
