Showcasing 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 8 fireplaces, and over 4,400+ sqft of living space, the home offers a layout that is both functional and full of character.

The kitchen has been remodeled with granite countertops and modern appliances, while the bathrooms have been tastefully improved to align with the style and feel of the home--creating a seamless blend of historic charm and everyday functionality. Situated on approximately 2 acres, the setting is just as compelling as the home itself. Framed by mature landscaping and manicured grounds, the property features the original brick exterior, towering chimneys, a standing seam metal roof, and multiple covered porches that create a true estate feel. The grounds offer walking paths, open green space, a scenic creek along the property line, and multiple outbuildings and barns--each rich with history and offering endless potential.
