Built in 1914 and cherished by the same owners for 43 years, this beautiful three-bedroom, two-bath home is ready for its next chapter. The inviting front porch and beautiful wood-and-glass entry with sidelights set the tone for an interior filled with original character, including oak floors and woodwork, pocket doors, substantial trim, a grand staircase and a coffered dining-room ceiling. Formal living and dining rooms provide plenty of gathering space, while the updated kitchen, additional dining area and three-season sunroom offer comfort for everyday living. A finished third floor provides wonderful flexibility for an office, recreation room, studio, hobby or living space.
