The updated kitchen features granite countertops, beautiful cabinetry, and a functional layout perfect for everyday living. Just beyond the kitchen, a spacious dining room flows seamlessly into the living room, creating an ideal setup for gathering, entertaining, and making the home feel connected throughout.

The main level is completed by a spacious office, full bathroom, and laundry room with pantry space. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a large en-suite bathroom, while two additional generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom provide plenty of room for family or guests. Throughout the home, you'll find oversized rooms, 9-foot ceilings, and distinctive details that create a beautiful blend of historic beauty and updated living.
