About this home

Welcome Home! Opportunity is knocking! This classic old-style home is packed with character and ready for a fresh new chapter. Step onto the enclosed porch and into the spacious living room, anchored by a charming brick-faced fireplace. Elegant arched doorways highlight its vintage appeal, while original hardwood floors throughout can be brought back to life with a simple refinishing. The main floor offers two bedrooms and a full bath, while the second floor adds two more bedrooms for flexible living space. A full, dry basement provides excellent storage or workshop potential. With some TLC and your personal vision, you can restore this gem to its original beauty—or reimagine it for modern living.
