Located within the coveted Architectural Preservation District and proudly listed on the Historic Homes Registry, the property beautifully blends authentic early-American craftsmanship with timeless character and modern livability. Constructed of original limestone and carefully preserved through generations, the home showcases the enduring quality and architectural integrity rarely found today. Rich in provenance and historic significance, the residence offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, thoughtfully integrated within the home’s warm and inviting interior spaces. Inside, centuries-old limestone walls, deep-set windows, original architectural details, and intimate gathering spaces create an atmosphere that is both refined and deeply rooted in history. The home’s charming courtyard, historic textures, and preserved craftsmanship evoke the feeling of a European stone cottage while remaining in the heart of vibrant Uptown Centerville. The home was added onto in 1974 creating a U shape with the courtyard as the center of the U, this addition includes a large great room w a wood fireplace that looks like it should have been here the whole time, full bathroom / laundry area and primary bedroom.
