Realtor Comments
A diamond in the rough! This stately brick home with a Spanish-style tile roof has some wonderful features. Natural woodwork & doors, etched glass, lovely open staircase, brick fireplace, formal dining room with beautiful built-in, and a spacious kitchen. There is a dining porch off of the kitchen, and a covered porch from there. The rooms are large, and there is even a lovely conservatory. Upstairs are 4 large bedrooms, 2 of which have access to the summer sleeping porch- my favorite! The main floor also has 2 large enclosed porches, one on the front, and the other on the east side! There is a walkup attic with awesome space, full basement with tall ceilings, laundry and bath. This is an extremely unique home. You can dig in and make this stunning historic home come back to life. The main floor is also in good condition with newer windows. All of this is located on 1.86 on north edge of town- no other place is like this one, call today for your private showing!
