“This 1815 brick residence on a double lot blends historic integrity and today’s modern conveniences. With period woodwork and floors, this federal home of gentle proportions offers formal and informal entertaining areas, renovated baths and kitchen with breakfast area, family room, recreation room, gracious garden and a two-car garage.“
New kitchen with the preserved original fireplace just on the other side
The home is actually two old row homes attached so there are some interesting pass throughs where the floors didn’t line up between units.
We’re not sure if the basement is creepy looking or cool?
