About This Home
As of June 2023Large 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath brick home. Built in 1880, this home once had a bakery area many years ago with the huge brick bake
oven still intact which encompasses much of the area at the rear of the building. The oven was only closed off around
ten years ago and could be exposed again. This would be done by removing the rear wall of the family room. You can
also see part of the oven by sliding the doors open in the garage. This area also has stairs going to a room above the oven
with a brick floor. The home has large bedrooms with a balcony off the 4th bdrm, 2 full baths & a half bath off the utility
room. Kitchen still has the antique farm sink & a huge pantry. 2 walk-in hall closets on 2nd floor. Large w/u attic &
smaller attic over family room. If you are a train enthusiast, you will love the train tracks and all the scenery pieces that
remain in the basement. There is a workshop off the family room. There is an area for woodstoves in the LR & FR, but
stoves have been removed. Gorgeous antique chandelier in front parlor remains. Great potential with this home, but it
does need work. Please ask your Realtor for the info sheet regarding some of the needed work.
