The full bathroom on the second floor is highlighted by the original Victorian tub, now enhanced with a new tile surround and refinished classic tiles on the walls. On the upper level, you'll discover a separate living room that can function as an additional bedroom, complete with its own gas fireplace. The spacious primary bedroom features a fourth gas fireplace, complemented by a beautifully finished dark wood mantle and tiled hearth, alongside an airy bay window. A custom-designed walk-in closet/dressing area leads to an enclosed sun porch that overlooks a tranquil backyard, adorned with trees and hedges. An office space on the second floor further enhances its appeal as a remote workspace or craft nook.
