As you approach from the front gate, you will note the perfect symmetry of this Colonial Revival. On the first level is a generous entry hall with decorative molding, a living room with a woodburning fireplace and built in bookshelves, a parlor with a woodburning fireplace, a formal dining room with bay window, built in corner cabinet with leaded glass, and a spacious eat in kitchen with a cook's stove and bonus utility sink.

Refinished quarter sawn oak floors with border inlays, three sets of original pocket doors with perfect function and hardware, decorative carved wood mantels on both fireplaces, chair rails in dining room and hallways. Wide staircase and generous landings throughout. On the second floor you'll find the primary bedroom, with a wood burning fireplace, and a bay window with window seat.
