Luke House, a captivating Queen Anne Victorian in the heart of Putnam where craftsmanship, character, and modern comfort come together beautifully.

The spacious first floor includes a welcoming foyer currently used as a sitting room, a library that could serve as a first-floor bedroom or office, and a full bath.

The third floor adds two more bedrooms and a full bath, offering incredible flexibility. Outside, enjoy established plantings, fruit trees, a greenhouse, and shed.
