Historical Elegance Meets Modern Living

Each custodian has lovingly maintained it, preserving an abundance of gorgeous original features while integrating modern comforts expected by today's buyers.

The building's striking natural granite exterior, with its charming shape full of hips, valleys, and falls, pays homage to its past with the proud bell tower still standing. Approaching the front door, you'll pass through a granite-arched storm porch and traditional front door, where the beauty of this home becomes immediately apparent.
