Step into the stunning living room featuring a soaring cathedral ceiling with rich wood paneling, exposed beams, a marble fireplace with custom mantle, and an oversized picture window overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds — creating a warm and inviting space that feels both grand and timeless. The eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a new refrigerator, a double stainless steel sink, updated cabinet hardware, and finishes that perfectly complement the home’s historic character.
