Step Into Victorian Charm!

The modern touches in this quaint, lovely Victorian home will delight you, while the nostalgic accents (a bathroom sink with foot pedals?) are ones you'll want to photograph and share with others! For its age and proximity to medical complexes, this home is amazingly quiet. The bed downstairs was comfortable, although after a long day, I did need to pull up a kitchen chair to help me climb into it. (An antique step-stool might be a helpful addition for short guests like me.) The home was spotless, the wi-fi swift, and after tiring business during the day, felt like a hug upon returning. I will definitely be back!
