About this home
A GRAND LADY WITH TIMELESS CHARM Some homes are simply houses... and then there are homes with a story to tell. Welcome to this charming 2-storey century home, a gracious lady who has stood proudly through the years and wears her age beautifully. From the moment you arrive, her welcoming front porch invites you to slow down, sit awhile and enjoy the simple pleasures of home. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the character that simply can't be recreated today - soaring ceilings, beautiful original woodwork, classic details and a warmth that makes you feel right at home. With 3 bedrooms, there's plenty of room for family, guests, a home office or whatever life may bring. Each room carries a little of her history while offering the opportunity to make her your own. She's not trying to be the newest house on the street - and that's exactly what makes her special. She is elegant, welcoming and full of personality, with the kind of timeless character that only comes with age. A little history, a lot of charm, and plenty of life left to live. Come meet this beautiful lady and see why some things truly do get better with age.
