Inside, you'll find ornate molding, a grand staircase, a corner cupboard, a built-in armoire, and elegant wainscoting wood wall-paneling that bring character to every room.

The upper level includes three spacious bedrooms, a large bathroom, and a finished attic loft that offers additional living space.
