Lovingly owned and meticulously maintained by the same owners for 54 years, this special home is rich in classic details, warm woodwork, custom built-ins, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The inviting interior offers a traditional yet comfortable layout, featuring a welcoming living room with a central fireplace, a sunny southerly exposed den with built-in bookshelves, and a formal dining room with an oversized glass built-in cabinet. The kitchen combines classic charm with thoughtful updates, including soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry.
