About This Home
As of July 2025Come see this historic yet modern home. It's full of updates and so much space! Bonus rooms, hardwoods, large bedrooms and bathrooms, built-ins, and an adorable front porch with a swing, new front steps and more! A privacy fence was installed in 2020, and fresh sod makes the backyard ready for entertaining. The HVAC and roof are all less than 5 years old, so you can buy with peace of mind that all of the major things are taken care of. This home is just blocks away from the historic Independence Square where you can enjoy local food, drinks, and shopping. A coffee shop, ice cream, and farmers market are all within walking distance. There's so much to love about this area and house! You won't want to miss out on this charming home.
