The exterior of this home absolutely stunning! Not to mention the 1st floor woodwork – wow! This is the stuff of old house lovers’ dreams. The kitchen is a bit of a letdown in terms of finishes, and perhaps layout, but the size is period appropriate. I’m sure the master bedroom was originally at least two separate rooms. I would have used some of that space to add an en suite master bathroom and closet. If money were no object, I would live here in a heartbeat!
