Once the esteemed residence of The Farmers Bank, this historic marvel has been meticulously revitalized and modernized with contemporary luxuries by its current custodians.

To your left, beyond the Palladian French doors, awaits the majestic living room adorned with intricate woodwork and fireplace. Sunlight cascades through the magnificent half-moon transom windows, adorned with operable shutters, and French doors opening onto the side patio once the entranceway to the bank. On the opposite side of the hall, discover the splendid formal dining room featuring shuttered half-moon windows, crown molding, and a tiled fireplace. This room seamlessly connects to the family room through double doors and is embellished with detailed moldings and wainscoting, featuring a fireplace equipped with a ventless system. Passing through the hallway and by the elegant, restored staircase, you'll arrive at the gourmet sunlit Georgi kitchen, boasting an island, granite countertops, a tile backsplash and custom rangehood.
