The restored circa-1840 Greek Revival home on the Tankerhoosen River offers a blend of classic charm and contemporary comforts, making it perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Upon entry, you're greeted by the wide, original chestnut floorboards and hand-cut nails that set a historic tone.

From there, the spacious, well-equipped kitchen offers a seamless blend of functionality and style, featuring custom cement countertops, a deep sink, French doors, a wine fridge, and a built-in wood fired pizza oven, making it a dream for any cooking enthusiast. The adjacent Butler's Pantry, with exposed beams and wrought iron cabinetry, adds an extra touch of vintage elegance with added modern amenities like radiant heat and a garden window, perfect for plants. This leads to the formal dining room, with space for a long table, dental molding, and a warm atmosphere fit for hosting family and friends. The second living room, with a rustic island and "All Nighter" stove, provides even more cozy gathering space and connects beautifully to the Butler's Pantry.
