Inside, the home is the perfect complement of eclectic character, original old-world detail, renovated kitchens and baths, and updated systems. As you walk through the front door, you may notice the birds chirping from the front, side, and rear yards. The open first floor has stunning light and character—highlighted by the tastefully eclectic high-end kitchen and glass leading to the huge rear yard. The second floor continues the home's warmth and character, with high ceilings and original random-width pine floors throughout.
