Property Description

Step back in time with this 1899 Colonial two-story home set on a picturesque 1.3-acre lot in the heart of Houston. Rich in character and historic appeal, this property features original lighting fixtures, hardwood floors, trim, and doors, showcasing craftsmanship rarely found today.

Spacious rooms, traditional layout, and authentic architectural details provide a strong foundation for renovation while preserving its original charm. The expansive 1.3-acre lot offers ample space for outdoor use, expansion, or future possibilities. Conveniently located near Route 13 with easy access to Milford, Dover, shopping, and dining. A unique opportunity for buyers seeking a historic home with character and potential.
