Amenities: The house has many original features, including a vintage coal-burning fireplace in the master bedroom, and exposed brick where previous owners attempted a renovation that would have opened up the home from the main floor to the attic.
The finished basement features a recently built nanny’s suite with a kitchenette, bathroom and pine-ceilinged living space, as well as a separate entrance.
Last year, the owners replaced all the old wiring, and added a new hot water/gas heating system. The restaurant-style kitchen features stainless-steel countertops and appliances, and an original wood-burning fireplace. It opens to a rear mudroom that could be torn down to enlarge the part of the cooking area that now doubles as a dining room.
