About this home
FIRST SHOWING AT NEW PRICE SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9: 11-12:30. If you have been looking for a quintessential Victorian Era home this is for you! When you walk through the front door you are greeted with turn of the century, rich woodwork, high ceilings, gorgeous built-ins, and a fireplace. The sun shines through the many windows and the original wood floors throughout the home are in pristine condition. The eat-in kitchen is partially gutted and ready for you to incorporate your own style. The second floor has 4 bedrooms with plenty of closet space and 1 bath. The third floor has 2 bonus rooms. Small, low maintenance lot. Please allow for 48 hour turnaround time for any offers. This is an estate sale and property is being sold as-is.
