Opportunity abounds in this historic 1870 home located on one of the most desirable blocks in the St. John’s Church Historic District. Full of original character, the home features exposed brick, original beams, and architectural details worth preserving—offering a rare opportunity to restore while maintaining its historic integrity. The main level offers a living room and kitchen, with large glass French doors opening to the backyard—bringing in natural light and creating an easy connection to outdoor space. Upstairs, you’ll find a bedroom and full bath.
