A TRUE BEAUTY TO BEHOLD - A MAGNIFICENT QUEEN ANNE!! Step into a remarkable piece of architectural history with this amazing home, where timeless craftsmanship and character comes together with modern updates. The moment you arrive; her grandeur is unmistakable- From the spectacular three-story tower that rises above the home that creates many charming alcoves throughout the inside to the massive locally harvested stone wall and steps that lead up to the inviting front porch. The attention to detail with the original clapboard siding beside scalloped and carved accents is amazing. Inside, every detail has been lovingly preserved, including exquisite woodwork, numerous stained-glass windows, wood shutters, original doors and hardware and intricate wood carved details. There are FOUR fireplaces throughout the home - all featuring beveled mirrors, carved wood mantels, and vintage tilework. Enter through the grand foyer beneath a classic nine-foot coffered ceiling, where the stunning staircase immediately captures your attention along with the first fireplace to welcome you in.

To the right is the welcoming formal dining room, complete with another ornate fireplace, a cove, and a china cabinet with a convenient pass-through to the kitchen. The spacious eat-in kitchen has had modern appliances added for convenience without taking away any of the original charm and features an impressive pantry, and a nearby half bath with a washer and dryer.
