Realtor Comments
Some electric wires and copper plumbing have been cut and removed. First floor has a beautiful walk in pantry off kitchen. Both levels have spacious bedrooms. Walk up attic could provide more space for lots of storage for 2nd floor apartment. Restore this historic home with hard wood floors and natural woodwork to its original beauty. Hookups for washer and dryer are in downstairs hall way and 1st floor bathroom, and kitchen.
