## Description

### Agent Description
Discover a unique piece of history with this extraordinary brick home, which once served as a stop along the Underground Railroad. Beautifully blending historical character with modern comfort, the home offers 5 bedrooms, multiple living areas, and unforgettable architectural details. The front entry showcases a stunning stairwell (soon to be refinished), while ornate woodwork and curved windows highlight historic craftsmanship. Enjoy formal and casual spaces including a dining room with fireplace, sitting room with patio access, and a spacious family room with built-ins. The kitchen features an island, gas cooktop, double ovens, stainless appliances, and nearby laundry. Upstairs includes 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, highlighted by a primary suite with marble floors, double vanity, soaking tub, porcelain shower, and walk-in closet. The lower level offers additional living space with an egress bedroom, colorful glass doors, and flexible rooms. Outdoors, find a detached 2+ car garage, patio space, and the charm of a gravel drive. A rare opportunity to own a home that is both solid and storied.
