The dining room boasts a working wood-burning fireplace, while the eat-in kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, pantry closet, and a convenient half bath with laundry. A grand staircase leads to the second floor, where you’ll find two bedrooms and a full bath. Brimming with charm and character, this unique home is perfectly located near shops, the bike path, and public transportation. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history!
