This 8-room, 4 bedroom, 2 full bath home offers natural woodwork, hardwood floors, bulls-eye moldings, decorative fireplace mantel in first-floor family room and beautiful bay windows in dining room and living room. Great cooking kitchen is 6-years old and boasts stainless appliances with Jennair stove, maple cabinets and granite-tile countertops. Stunning stone foundation porch goes the full-width of the house and is topped by Doric columns which brace the shed roof, pedimented second-floor porch and polygonal turret. The owners have done extensive restoration on this home, and have put in a furnace, added 200 amp electric, storm windows and completely re-sided the cedar shingle exterior. The 4-color paint scheme of this Painted Lady highlights and contrasts all the beautiful detail of this turn-of-the-century home. Note the pergola, patio and matching 10x8 shed for bikes and gardening.
