MOVE-IN READY! This charming, spacious, over 2000 square foot, 4 bedroom home has beautiful newly refinished hardwood floors and natural woodwork throughout.

This well-constructed home, built in 1894, has stood the test of time and has been loved by family after family through the years. There are of course plaster walls that keep the home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter; and gas hot water heat that provides quiet, even heat from a boiler that has been serviced yearly.
