About This Home
As of January 2026Considering a possible "flipper" home or looking for a winter remodel project?? This home has a lot character along with a little history since it was originally built in 1884. It did just get a completely new roof replaced in 2024. It is set up for 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, but the floorplan could easily be altered due to some areas being unfinished. Main level is an entry/foyer, parlor, living room, dining room, bathroom, kitchen, & unfinished large pantry off the dining room. Upper level is 3 bedrooms and a bath. There is a 3rd level unfinished attic area as well. No heat or air are currently present.
