About This Home

Historic Victorian built by a railroad magnate on 2 acres—fully updated while preserving its original character. Stained glass, ornate woodwork, and hardwood floors throughout set this home apart from anything else on the market. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home blends charm and function with an updated kitchen and baths, main-floor laundry, mudroom, and a large pantry with excellent storage for canning or homesteading. Original oak floors on the main level and yellow pine upstairs, along with leaded glass windows, showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Modern comfort is covered with a high-efficiency boiler for hot water heat and central air conditioning. Rebuilt original porches offer the perfect place to relax and take in the peaceful setting. Outside, the 1.51-acre lot provides space to live the lifestyle you want—featuring an established orchard with pear, apple, and apricot trees, raised garden beds, raspberries, and mature landscaping including crabapple trees, hydrangeas, begonias, lilies, and hostas for color all season long. The property also includes a detached 2-car garage/carriage house, an in-ground pet fence allowing dogs to roam the entire lot, and a gentle hill ideal for winter sledding. A rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive historic home with modern updates, acreage, and room to enjoy every season.
