About This Home
Step into the charm of this historic 2-story home, built in 1890 and filled with character you won’t find anywhere else—now with a newly reduced price! Tall ceilings throughout the main level create an airy, spacious feel, complemented by multiple living areas that offer plenty of room to relax, entertain, or make your own. And a main-level bedroom that can easily serve as an office or adapt to your needs. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms—each offering comfort, natural light, and the timeless appeal of an older home. This property will be fully cleared out prior to closing, giving you a clean slate to bring your vision to life.
