About This Home

This is charming 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, built in 1890, has been restored to maintain its 1880s elegance while incorporating modern conveniences, however, will still require some TLC. The home features massive arched entries and windows, magnificently proportioned rooms, and two laundry areas (one on the main floor and one on the upper floor). Hard wood floors throughout. Newer roof and siding. The seller is prepared to offer a flooring allowance. Siding will be completed prior to closing. The large east-side deck and fenced yard provide ample outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment, centrally located and close to schools and playgrounds
