The 800sf of Snug has it all. Fully updated and renovated while keeping the original limestone, brick, heart pine posts and 12 foot ceilings. Tucked away from the street so it's quiet, but near everything. You'll feel like you walked into a beautiful European apartment. Come and stay, you'll love it!

lovely 1915 house in leafy college town
The house is cool, well shaded with big trees and flooded with mottled light. A big magical backyard with two huge pines makes it feel like the North Woods. It is peaceful & serene with a big private yard and organic miro garden. In spite of some older pics there is new central air not window units. This is a very clean artists house not a hotel. This is an old but beautiful house, full of love. Please be loving and respectful. Thank you!
