    What's special

    Wonderful, historic home on 1.5 gorgeous acres with gardens and pathways. This home has been the site of many dahlia events as the previous owner raised show-stopping dahlias in her gardens. Located just a couple of minutes' walk to the grocery store, church, dining and theater. The charming main house has three bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths, and there is a cozy guest cottage with an additional two bedrooms and one bath. The current owner enclosed the original carport into a one-car garage that still leaves plenty of space for a workshop bench or storage. The amazing double wooden front door opens to a beautiful living room and lovely breakfast space. The double-sided fireplace separates this area from the large updated kitchen that boasts an oversized granite and wood island, a range/oven that any cook would envy, plus a small seating area and a welcoming library. This level has one bedroom with a private bath that is currently used as an artist's studio. The spacious dining area is augmented by a butler's pantry and opens to a charming covered side deck. The upstairs is the owner's realm with a spacious bedroom, massive closet, and one-and-a-half baths. The terrace level includes a lovely family room with a third fireplace and opens to a stone patio. Another guest suite, laundry, and great storage complete this level. The guest house has a complete kitchen plus two bedrooms, one bath, and a lovely sitting area.
