Inside, you’ll find 4-5 spacious bedrooms, graceful pocket doors, and a full walk-up attic offering endless potential for expansion or creative use. The home features two staircases: a grand, curved main staircase that makes a dramatic statement, and a separate back staircase for added convenience and flow. Updates throughout include replaced windows, updated electrical, a new boiler, fresh paint, new flooring in select areas, and tasteful fixture upgrades that beautifully blend old-world charm with modern convenience. Step outside to enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails on one of two porches – one of which is newly built – or unwind on the private concrete patio nestled in the serene backyard. A true highlight of the property is the three-story barn with a newer roof, ideal for storage, a workshop, or future creative conversion. With a double septic system in place, this home is perfectly suited for a bed-and-breakfast or future Airbnb opportunity. The Gingerbread Manor isn’t just a home – it’s a living piece of local history, lovingly preserved and ready to welcome its next chapter.
