PROPERTY DETAILS: It is impossible to properly describe the unique quality of this property. It is a must see!

The house has been updated with a lg kitchen with nice cupboards that is open to a full dining/living room area.

This part of the house contains a full bath, closet areas and a partially open staircase leading to the 2nd story. The upstairs has original wood flooring and 4 large bedrooms with beautiful windows, alcove areas and a spectacular view. One bedroom is currently used as a walk-in closet with shelving and much storage. Another nice full bath is located upstairs along with the entrance to the walk-up attic.
