Tall ceilings, generous principal rooms, and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while the renovated kitchen (2022) features quality appliances, exposed wood beams, and a central island for additional prep space. A flexible layout includes a main-floor den or sixth bedroom, while the third floor offers bonus space ideal for a recreation room, home office, playroom, teen retreat, or studio.Enjoy morning coffee on the welcoming front porch overlooking perennial gardens, summer evenings on the private back deck, and the privacy of mature trees with seasonal views of Hunter's Bay. Recent updates include the roof (2024), furnace and A/C (2022), kitchen (2022), deck (2022), and second-floor laundry (2022). Municipal water, sewer, and natural gas provide everyday convenience.Walk to Huntsville's shops, cafés, restaurants, schools, parks, waterfront, and community events while enjoying the charm and privacy of this remarkable property. Historic homes of this calibre rarely offer this level of flexibility.
