Here's a gorgeously restored Victorian with style, comfort, and a little history. As you come up the sidewalk, the landscaping provides a clue to the care and love this home has received from its current owners, and when you step in the foyer, you'll know it's a special place. The elegant staircase and foyer strike a welcoming note, and the family room, with its hardwood floors, crown moulding, and bay window, are a civilized spot to relax and visit with friends--but the living room, with its splendid turn-of-the century fireplace, will be where your heart settles. The formal dining room is one you'll actually use, and it adjoins a comfortable sun room--the perfect spot for devouring your favorite mystery novel. The kitchen is awash in character and has loads of nooks and crannies, including a welcome walk-in pantry. But wait...you walked right by the "Club Room," with its built-ins, faux tin ceiling, and access to the front porch--what better place to share a cocktail and tell tall tales with friends? Upstairs the bathroom is a beautiful combination of period touches and modern updates, and each room feels like a carefully curated statement of style. The third bedroom can be accessed by a rear staircase, affording a touch more privacy. Need a craft studio, workshop, or storage? The 2-story barn is your answer, or great for home business use! Gorgeous outdoor space, a two-car garage, a connection to the local shoe industry...you owe it to yourself to see this one!
