Owned and cared for by the same family for more than 18 years, this home has been the backdrop for raising a family, tending gardens and building community. Recently refreshed for its next chapter, it reflects both long term stewardship and meaningful recent improvements. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting living room with a darling fireplace, original built ins and refinished wood floors that anchor the space with timeless charm.
