About this home
Charming unfurnished two-bedroom antique home with an office, nestled in the heart of historic Old Town. Lovely, light filled living room with original wood floors. White kitchen with modern appliances and gas stove. Each bedroom includes en-suite bath and ample closet space. Sunny office/guest room has access to an expansive deck overlooking the butterfly gardens and century-old stone wall. The large, fenced in yard is amazingly quiet and peaceful despite being so close to gourmet restaurants, boutique shops, the local movie theatre, and town grocery store. Bonus storage space/workshop in the former one-car garage. Parking front of garage and Off-street parking for 2 cars. Will consider pets. As a note, there is a second (traditional) staircase in the house (not pictured), as an alternative option to the spiral staircase.
