Adjacent is the library/family room, showcasing a large arched entry and custom built-ins. Original hardwood floors extend throughout, enhancing the home's historic charm.
The kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring custom cabinets and an eat-in banquette. The screened porch off of the kitchen offers the perfect three-season space for al-fresco dining and opens to the expansive outdoor deck spanning the home's length.

The primary suite on the main level is a luxurious retreat, complete with an en-suite bathroom with heated floor and towel rack, two generous closets, and a charming sunroom.
