Step inside to a spacious living and dining area featuring warm original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, three bay windows that bring in natural light, and a striking original wood staircase. With its detailed newel post, traditional turned balusters, and rich wood paneled stair wall, the staircase is a true architectural centerpiece.
A vintage flip switch fireplace adds another touch of character, while the open living and dining layout offers plenty of room to relax, entertain, and arrange the space to fit your lifestyle.
