About This Home
Set on 6 picturesque acres, this exceptional all-brick estate offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and nearly 5,000 square feet of timeless craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and outstanding outbuildings.

Nine-foot ceilings define the main floor, which includes open stairs with gorgeous chestnut wood railings, a formal living room with brick fireplace and wood mantel, formal dining room, office, den with a brick fireplace, family room with a brick fireplace and walk-in coat closet, kitchen, and half bath.

The crown jewel of the home is the richly appointed den, showcasing exquisite woodwork, custom built-in bookshelves, a 9-foot beamed ceiling with recessed lighting, and a brick fireplace. Two separate doors lead to the enclosed front porch and the expansive backyard, offering seamless transitions between interior spaces and outdoor living areas.
The upper level offers three additional bedrooms and a full bath, featuring wide hallways and abundant windows that create a bright, spacious feel throughout. Bedrooms are generously sized with ample closet space, and a walk-in cedar hall closet provides additional storage. Both the upper- and lower-level full bathrooms reflect classic early-1900s design including mosaic floors and have been preserved in impeccable condition.
