Beyond the front door, the gracious central hall introduces beautifully preserved woodwork and connects generous living and dining rooms filled with architectural detail. The kitchen embraces the home's personality with blue cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, center island, breakfast bar and memorable vintage-style range, complemented by updated appliances.nnOne of the home's greatest advantages is its unusually flexible layout.
