A sprawling covered front porch leads through original French doors into a dramatic 2-story foyer with 20” ceilings and a grand refinished staircase. Original hardwood floors with intricate inlay flow throughout much of the home. The recently renovated kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and workspace, while the formal dining room showcases coffered ceilings, the original chandelier, and built-in leaded glass cabinetry. The parlor features a striking fireplace with glass-front built-ins, and the spacious recreation room opens to the front porch through original French doors. A secondary staircase provides convenient access upstairs. The second floor includes a spacious primary suite with dressing area, private bath, laundry, and generous closet space, along with four additional bedrooms and another full bath. The third floor offers three more bedrooms, two full bathrooms (one no used), and a large unfinished attic, providing exceptional flexibility.
