Refinished original hardwood floors flow throughout the home, complemented by a fully remodeled kitchen featuring custom inset cabinetry, soapstone countertops, Fireclay wall tile, and new hardwood floors - a seamless nod to the home's character while delivering modern functionality. All appliances convey, including the washer and dryer in the mudroom.Both bathrooms have been beautifully renovated, with careful attention paid to honoring original details: Heritage Tile subway ceramics, re-silvered original mirrors, and original porcelain floor tile are preserved alongside new tubs, fixtures and lighting.The owners have invested heavily where it matters most. The foundation has been fully addressed with crawlspace encapsulation, a dehumidifier, Intellijack supports, and sistered joists - all carrying transferable warranties of up to 25 years.
