This gracious residence features beautifully updated and carefully maintained public and private spaces. Historical details have been preserved and seamlessly combined with modern updates for the discerning buyer. You are greeted to the home by an open front porch perched above the street and overlooking a lovely front yard. Step inside to the gracious entry hall with its grand oak staircase and seating area for greeting guests, removing coats and shoes, and dropping parcels. The staircase landing has an amazing stained glass window. The main level features flowing public spaces, including the entertainment-sized living room with multiple seating areas, fireplace, and leaded glass and bay windows; the dining room with a large leaded glass picture window, built-in buffet, and fireplace; a cozy den with extensive built-ins and a fireplace; a 4-season sun porch overlooking the backyard; an updated cook's kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and pantry area; and a full bath.
