The expanded main-floor kitchen is a highlight, revealing an original fireplace that had been hidden for years. Improvements include reinforced joist support, a 200A electrical upgrade and refinished drywall throughout. The windows and staircase have been stripped to their original wood and meticulously restored, enhancing the homes character. Outside, the property has been transformed with thoughtful landscaping, featuring a level yard, a reclaimed 1860s limestone patio, reinforced embankments and a hot tub.
