Property Description
You can OWN THIS HOUSE of INCREDIBLE CHARM in this IDEAL LOCATION and with a BEAUTIFUL FLOOR PLAN. Yes, IT NEEDS WORK to BRING IT BACK TO GLORY, but the PRICE IS RIGHT! An amazing 2,736 SQ FT of pure potential, built in 1900. Roof is less than 2 years old. The staircase is gorgeous with two STAINED GLASS windows along the way. The large Living Room is inviting and the separate Dining Room is perfect for a dinner party or game night. FIVE LARGE BEDROOMS! Plenty of storage and a full bath on each level with an additional half bath off the den. The back section of the house was once used as a professional doctor's office - It makes a great FAMILY ROOM with a lovely wall of windows. The two additional back rooms have no closets, but they make great bedrooms. There is an EV charging station at the side of the house by the driveway. This is an AS-IS SALE. Absolutely no repairs will be made by the seller.
