Overview

Description

This completely updated house was taken down to the foundation & wood infrastructure, added on to, and built back new in 2012. While the exterior retains the original 1939 architecture in the front to blend well in the established neighborhood, the interior has an open floor plan & design in keeping with modern preferences, with a nice blend of old and new using reclaimed and timeless materials to create a modern farmhouse feel. Enjoy the serenity of nearly a 3/4 acre wooded lot adjoining a 100+ acre manicured tree farm, gardens, and walk path in the arboretum, located in the heart of the city.
