About This Home
Charming 4 Bedroom/4 Full Bathroom Home – Full of Original Character
Located directly on multiple parade routes—this home offers a front-row seat to the local Memorial Day and Miracle on Main Street parades.
Welcome to 55 Pennsylvania Avenue, a unique 1880-built home, brimming with original character and rich architectural detail.
Begin your tour in the charming vestibule at the main front entrance—a warm and welcoming space that sets the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout the home.
From the moment you enter the Foyer, you’ll be enchanted by the 10' ceilings, and intricate woodwork, especially on the staircase. The main floor offers one full bathroom and an abundance of gracious living space. This home features a Formal Living Room with a gas fireplace, a spacious 25 x 15 Family Room, a light-filled Sunroom with Window walls, and additional versatile rooms perfect for entertaining, working, or relaxing. Original pocket doors and generously sized rooms add both function and elegance throughout.
Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
One of the bedrooms features an en suite bathroom, while a second full bath is conveniently located in the hallway. You will appreciate the preservation of historic features like original hardware, transom windows, and striking wood doors. A thoughtfully placed second kitchen and laundry area provide added convenience—perfect for extended family, guests, or potential rental opportunities.
The full walk-up attic is expansive, offering endless possibilities for a studio, office, or future finished living space.
Bring your vision to the lower level, where you'll find a third full kitchen, recreation room, and another full bathroom. There is ductwork in place for A/C (the system will need servicing). A separate laundry hookup offers additional flexibility. Exit from basement is Bilco Doors.
In the Rear Fenced yard, there is a peaceful koi pond (currently unstocked) and mature landscaping.
