About This Home

As of November 2025

The cutest house in town! That's what I have heard this Victorian classic called. Historic and charming premiere downtown location, these 3 detached homes on one lot have so much potential! Main Victorian home is 3 bedroom/2 baths and approximately 1,470 sq ft. Additional homes are 1 bed/1 bath and 2 bed/1 bath. Some major repairs had been done 50 years ago, however much work is needed on all three homes. Year built is not known for sure.
