About This Home
With charm that feels pulled from a holiday storybook, this Gingerbread Victorian is ready for its next happily-ever-after—just in time for the New Year! Fully remodeled and restored, this home blends timeless character with modern comfort in every room. From the welcoming covered porch to the grand entryway and sun-filled bay windows, it's the kind of home that instantly feels magical. Inside, you'll find stained-glass doors, beautiful tilework, and even a hidden bookcase door connecting the bedroom to its bathroom—a whimsical detail you won't forget. The oversized main-floor bedroom offers incredible flexibility, whether you prefer it as a private retreat, guest suite, or additional living space. A soaking tub adds spa-like comfort, and upstairs, two more bedrooms and a full bath complete the thoughtful layout. The large kitchen offers generous storage, great prep space, and room to gather. Peace of mind comes with brand-new HVAC, updated electrical, newer plumbing, and copper gutters that shimmer against the home's detailed exterior. Outside, enjoy a freshly landscaped yard with a back deck, patio, and an oversized 1-car garage—ideal for storage, hobbies, or quiet winter mornings. All appliances—including the washer and dryer—are included. And for anyone seeking a smart investment, this home has also been used successfully as an Airbnb. Whether you're not quite ready to move in but want to ''own it now,'' or you're looking to add a unique, high-appeal property to your portfolio, this Victorian offers income potential from day one. This home isn't just restored—it's reimagined for modern living while preserving every bit of its storybook charm.
Start the New Year with a magical new investment—or a magical new home. Schedule your showing today!
