A Second-floor laundry adds convenience, while the third-floor bonus suite with its own bathroom offers an ideal retreat for older children, guests or a college-age family member.Outside, the unusually generous lot offers a blank canvas for gardens, play space or entertaining.This is a home with the proportions, details and sense of history a Victorian offers, paired with the updates and flexibility today’s homeowners need.Imagine welcoming family home for Thanksgiving, gathering on the wraparound porch as the season turns, and looking forward to filling this gracious home with the traditions of holidays to come.— Aucoin Ryan Realty
