Property Description
Set on 1.3 wooded, level acres with lush landscaping and a circular drive, this circa 1855 home offers historic character, modern comfort, and a private retreat-like setting. Original plank wood floors, preserved historic details, richly toned beams, and a striking stucco woodburning fireplace bring warmth and authenticity throughout the home. The layout includes 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with a convenient main floor full bath, a large dining room, and an upstairs landing den area that adds flexible space for reading, work, or guests. Central air and heat provide year-round comfort while maintaining the charm and texture of an older home. Outdoors, the property continues to impress with a large deck overlooking the wooded lot, mature trees, and beautifully layered landscaping. An outdoor sauna and shower add a special retreat element, making the home feel both practical and memorable. This is a rare opportunity to own a historic home with character, usable land, and thoughtful lifestyle features in a naturally beautiful setting.
