Realtor Comments

Step inside a home where more than a century of character is still visible in the spaces, proportions, and details that make Victorian architecture so distinctive. Set on a corner lot, this 1912 home offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multiple areas designed for both everyday living and gathering. A three-season front porch welcomes you in, while a second three-season porch connects to the side deck. The front living room features a fireplace, and the formal dining room provides a fitting setting for meals and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a separate breakfast area adds another comfortable place to gather. Upstairs, you’ll find convenient laundry, while the third story expands the possibilities with a spacious loft and fifth bedroom. A rear deck leads to a more secluded backyard area, and the attached two-car garage adds practical parking and storage. With some updates and care, this home offers an opportunity to restore and personalize a property filled with character, generous living spaces, and lasting architectural appeal.
