With great "bones" and recently re-certified as structurally impeccable - the engineer even verbally used the wording "built like a fortress". The exterior is in excellent condition and features such eye-catchers as the stunning standing seam copper awning over charming bay in bright breakfast room. The interior has been very well maintained, if not cosmetically up to the moment. Versatile floorplan, with front and back stairways and great flow for having lots of people over.

Primary bath features a brand new (built from the bottom up in May) custom standing tile shower. This bath is ez to enlarge - plans are available in the house.
