The first level radiates a welcoming atmosphere with its original moldings and hardwood floors in the main living areas, seamlessly complementing the acacia wood flooring in the the bedroom & laundry room bump-outs. The updated kitchen offers high-quality stainless steel appliances, gleaming countertops, and ample storage space are juxtaposed with charming rustic accents, creating an environment that is both stylish and practical. The upper floor hosts additional bedrooms, each a cozy retreat that promises privacy and tranquility. Generous storage options abound with the basement and attic, alongside a vast backyard, detached garage, and dry shed. This magnificent home offers a unique blend of tranquility, convenience, and historical charm, making it a must-have find in desirable Historic Milton; a stone's throw away from the vibrant downtown area.
