Oversized windows fill the home w/ natural light & frame peaceful views of the park-like setting. The 2nd flr offers a generous primary suite w/ private bath & WIC, 4 additional bedrooms, hall bath, laundry area & flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, hobby rm or 6th BR. A walk-up attic provides even more possibilities, while a 1st-flr powder rm w/ space for expansion to a full bath + a detached 2-car garage add convenience. More than just a home, this is a treasured piece of this town's history. Ready for its next great story, this home is sold in 'AS IS' condition.
