Originally commissioned in 1866 by Waldo. C.

Powder bath on main floor. Two staircases, welcome you to the 2nd floor where a cozy sitting area awaits alongside three bedrooms (two en suites), three full bathrms, and a convenient laundry room. The primary bathrm has dual vanities, water closet, & walk-in shower. Ascend to the third floor to discover another living area that could be a spacious bedrm, & ample storage space. The true showstopper lies in the carriage house, boasting original horse stalls transformed into a captivating entertainment area, complete with a fifth bedroom, bathrm & kitchenette. Every inch of this home has been lovingly updated, including new 3-car garage added in 2019 & sprinkler system, all rewired/plumbed. Huge patio & courtyard w/water feature. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history reimagined for modern living. Owner/Agent.
