Realtor Comments
From the stunning craftsman-style trim to the original doors, windows, and floors, the craftsmanship throughout is truly remarkable. The abundance of shiplap adds even more characterthis home is a treasure waiting for someone with an eye for old-world charm. Nestled on 0.80 acres, the property includes a metal carport in the backyard. Plus, an additional 0.32-acre lot across O’Hara Street to the left of the home is also part of the deal, offering even more potential. Whether youre looking to preserve its vintage charm or bring it back to life with restoration, a home like this doesnt come around often. The home is being sold AS IS. Did have gas heating, and window units are still present but unknown if they are in working condition. The buyer and buyers agent are responsible for verifying all information.
