The exterior of the home is gorgeous!!

Watch the tour here!

I would literally spend all day on this porch! My kingdom for a porch.

Step inside and you can see the 1872 home is in GREAT shape!

That’s the longest fireplace pipe I’ve ever seen.

REally cozy looking family room!

The kitchen is also large with an island and lil eat in area counter stool bar

I think this is the master bedroom? I’d love to see what’s under the carpet!!

Nice tub in the master bedroom as well.

Finally the back yard – the things I’d do for a three car garage!!
