Five beautifully paneled rooms reveal the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while antique wide-board flooring runs throughout, whispering stories of centuries past beneath every footstep.

While honoring its historic character, the home has also benefited from over $300,000 in thoughtful improvements that enhance comfort and preservation without compromising authenticity.
