Realtor Comments
Majestic two-story Victorian home located on the corner of 6th and Spruce. The exterior features low-maintenance aluminum siding and partial vinyl soffits, along with a spacious covered front porch with composite floor perfect for family time. Inside, the main floor includes a living room, a sitting area, a 3/4 bath, and a formal dining room with ample space for a large table. The eat-in kitchen offers enough room for multiple cooks, and its layout allows the formal dining area to be converted into a downstairs bedroom if needed. Original massive windows provide plenty of natural light, and an attic fan helps maintain a cool breeze. The second floor houses three large bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry room; the washer and dryer are included with the sale. For comfort, the home features central heat and air with separate units for each floor. Additional highlights include: – Updated breaker box – Two shops with electricity – Detached garage (currently used for storage) and a two-car carport – Privacy-fenced backyard – Basement utility space with a sump pump, furnace, and hot water tank – two bay windows one downstairs and one upstairs Please note that the property requires some repairs and new carpeting. Due to the condition of the windows and peeling paint, it will not qualify for FHA, VA, or USDA financing. However, at this price point, it offers a great opportunity to acquire a spacious home and make updates as you see fit.
