Property Description

A Rare Limestone Residence Where History, Craftsmanship, and Modern Investment Converge Offered following a comprehensive renovation, this early-1900s limestone residence stands as one of only three homes in the community constructed from locally sourced stone—an architectural distinction that cannot be recreated today. Substantial, enduring, and thoughtfully restored, the home blends historic permanence with modern confidence in a way few properties can match. Completed in 2024, the renovation preserves original character while delivering contemporary livability throughout. Original woodwork and the historic staircase anchor the home’s timeless appeal, complemented by updated kitchens and baths, refined finishes, and modern systems designed for everyday comfort. The residence offers four bedrooms, two and a half baths, a full finished basement providing additional living and entertaining space, and a walk-up attic with exceptional potential for a future bonus room, office, or studio—flexibility rarely found in homes of this era. In 2026, the home received a premium Class IV impact-rated, Class A fire-rated roof, engineered to withstand winds up to 150 mph and backed by a fully transferable 50-year manufacturer warranty. This significant investment offers exceptional durability, long-term protection, and peace of mind—while also presenting potential insurance savings—an upgrade seldom available and costly to replicate in today’s market. Exterior improvements further reflect the level of care and investment throughout the property, including brand-new concrete sidewalks surrounding the home and an expanded driveway entrance, enhancing curb appeal, accessibility, and daily functionality while eliminating future infrastructure concerns. Ideally positioned just two blocks from grocery and convenience stores, with local restaurants within comfortable walking distance, the home offers a rare blend of small-town walkability and historic neighborhood charm—allowing owners to enjoy everyday amenities without sacrificing privacy, character, or architectural integrity. This is not simply a renovated home. It is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a property defined by irreplaceable materials, thoughtful modernization, and enduring value. Every major investment has already been completed—allowing the next owner to move in and enjoy with confidence.
