Thoughtfully restored with deep respect for its original design, the residence blends period authenticity with meaningful modern upgrades. Recent improvements include a new roof, updated sewer line, copper plumbing, upgraded electrical, dual-zone HVAC, tankless water heaters, and refinished hardwood floors each enhancement intentionally executed to preserve the home’s integrity while offering a strong foundation for what comes next.
