Built in 1905, this historic Victorian farmhouse was originally owned by the Caldwell family, who ran the local Meat Market in town.

This included designing and rebuilding an architecturally relevant open front porch with new flooring and new siding, restoring all original woodwork/shingles, and rebuilding a new chimney. The interior has many modern amenities while allowing the vintage charm of the house to shine. Beautiful woodwork is seen throughout including built-ins and hardwood flooring. All exterior doors in the home have been updated and replaced to make the home more energy efficient, with the exception of one original porch door featuring original glass window panes. A beautiful lobby/entryway greets guests and features custom brass hat/train racks and marble bench. There is a large living space with a beautiful gas fireplace. This area includes a designated sitting area for TV/games and a large dining table seating for entertaining. Guests will enjoy an updated eat-in kitchen with all new appliances and coffee bar.
