The home has 3199 SF and has a separate 1742 SF, 2 story cottage containing 2 apartments for a total of 4941 SF of living space on the property. The home has been owned by the same family since 1937 and has never before been offered for sale. The rocking chair front porch of the home is perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The main level includes the kitchen, formal dining room, and living room with a large stone fireplace with gas logs. There’s a bedroom with an ensuite bath as well as an additional bath. Upstairs you’ll find the primary bedroom with an ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a “Jack and Jill” bathroom. There’s also a sunroom with a wet bar and an alcove that could have multiple uses. The home has the modern updates you’d want including a whole house generator. Sewer is available.
