This home was built in the 1700s and has the charm (and quirks) of its age. The stairs to the second floor are safe but steep and may not be ideal for those with mobility concerns or very young children. Some ceilings and doorways are low, and the floors may creak—but that’s part of the charm! The home has modern heating and cooling, though temperatures can vary a bit from room to room. If you love historic character, you'll feel right at home.
