While fully-equipped with central vac, updated electrical, plumbing, and forced air heating/air-conditioning, the home is filled with original and historic features. Ornate multi-pane window frames, 18 baseboards, original trim, and and wide-plank floors complement the soaring ceiling heights and generous room sizes. The large original windows bathe the interior with natural light while offering beautiful views of the manicured grounds outside. The main floor consists of a large living room and a library/office off of the centre hall that leads to a grand dining room. A large eat-in kitchen, main floor powder room and laundry room complete the floor. Under a coffered wood ceiling, the kitchen boasts a huge wood-burning fireplace that can be used for cooking and ambiance, as well as two doors that lead to a sprawling wraparound deck.
