Rarely available and lovingly cared for, this classic 2-story brick home in Defiance offers timeless character and generous space on a nicely landscaped parcel of nearly 0.6 acre. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a 20' x 24' detached garage, the home is highlighted by two impressive covered front balcony porches—one on each level—each measuring 7' x 26', adding unmistakable curb appeal. Conveniently situated along Highway 59 midway between Harlan and Denison, the main level offers a spacious living room, formal dining room, kitchen, and laundry/half bath. Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms and a full bath with tub/shower. A large partially finished attic, accessible by staircase from the second level, provides excellent storage or future possibilities, while the basement offers space well-suited for hobbies, projects, or additional utility use.
