***Eligible for interest rate in the 5% range*** This spectacularly charming 1942 storybook ranch home features gingerbread trim and dovecotes - evocative of the famous Mellenthin birdhouse homes.

Walking into the home provides a reaction nothing short of stunned silence, as you take in the high ceilings, the sunlight streaming in and the warm solid oak flooring warming the space. The beautiful wood beams separate the vaulted living room, featuring the perfect indoor outdoor flow via bifold doors that open up much of the west wall - perfect for sunset viewings. The dining room is ready for those dinner parties you throw, featuring a bar area with bar sink so you can whip up your favorite cocktail. The perfect kitchen showcases the stunning Ilve stove and gorgeous subtly-veined countertops set against the chocolatey warm cabinets. Handmade raw brass sconces warm the space. The double casement window is perfect for serving friends enjoying the out-of-doors. With four bedrooms, you have plenty of space to spread out or provide for multiple work-from-home spaces.
