The current owners have lovingly and carefully restored the home, yet not destroyed the original details.

The third floor has been finished into a large bonus room, and the home has a dry basement/cellar that has a modern sump system. A beautiful sunroom overlooks the brick-fenced courtyard to the rear, and an electronic side gate provides access to the garage and courtyard areas. The detached garage includes storage area above. The exterior of the home has been recently painted, as has the entire interior, including all oil- based paint on the original trim. This home was recently featured in the 2022 "Homes for the Holidays - Tour of Historic South Main" and had fourteen Christmas trees at that time. This is one of the most intact historic homes ever offered in this area. There is no way to conceptualize this home without seeing it.
