The recently remodeled kitchen, equipped with cutting-edge appliances and sleek finishes, serves as a modern counterpoint to the home’s historical charm, combining functionality with style.

Here, a generously sized, sun-drenched family room at the front features a second magnificent original decorative wood fireplace, reflecting the home's historical elegance. The tranquil master suite is located at the rear, complete with an adjoining room suitable as a nursery or spacious dressing room.
