The floors throughout are beautiful pine giving it that extra layer of warmth and history, setting the tone for a home with really good bones.

It's a place with potential that doesn't feel overwheming, a home with structure, personality and heart already in place. The updates you make will only elevate what's already there. And then there's the yard, in the spring it could be straight from a magazine. Mature plantings, blooming color and layers of landscaping really enhance the entire property.
