Fantastic opportunity to own a high-quality home that has been meticulously cared for.

Additional updates included the installation of a high-efficiency boiler providing in-floor heat on the main level, as well as central air conditioning for year-round comfort. Despite the extensive renovations and additions, great care was taken to preserve the home’s original woodwork and classic architectural details.
