The home had been owned and maintained proudly over the years by its original family and has only been passed to new owners in very recent years. These owners have made wise improvements to bring this home to todays modern standards in regards to windows, electrical, heating, and plumbing while still retaining and enhancing all the stately character that its original builder and owner had intended!
