About This Home
As of August 2025Step into the warmth and character of this stunning 1901 Victorian home, completely renovated in 2022, this light-filled beauty offers the best of both worlds: original stained glass windows, hardwood floors, and intricate period moldings that have been lovingly preserved, paired with a brand-new kitchen and bathrooms designed for today’s lifestyle. Inside, you'll find spacious living areas filled with natural light. The gorgeous sun porch is the perfect spot to sip coffee or unwind with a book, while the large fenced-in backyard invites summer gatherings, playtime, or peaceful evenings under the stars. For those with a green thumb, the additional fenced side yard features established raised garden beds—just waiting to be planted. Upstairs, the second floor hosts four well-sized bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bathroom. The finished third floor offers incredible flexibility—use it as a fifth bedroom, home office, art studio, playroom, or whatever fits your lifestyle. The basement includes a laundry area, a partially finished bonus space, and separate utility and storage rooms. Enjoy easy access to downtown favorites—you're within walking distance to restaurants, community events like PorchFest and Comic Book Day, and more. Whether you're drawn to the rich history, the thoughtful renovations, or the vibrant neighborhood, this home is a rare and special find. Showings begin at the Open House on Friday 6/27 4:30 to 6:30 and Saturday 6/28 10 to 12.
