Beautifully appointed 1900-era home that blends original charm with thoughtful, functional details.

The bathroom is a standout with a vintage metal vanity, plank walls, galvanized ceiling and a travertine walk-in shower with bench. Historic windows retain their period character and are fitted with storm windows for added comfort. Practical spaces include a laundry room with built-in storage and a dedicated folding area. Relax on the covered front porch and enjoy the convenience off-street parking. Buyers must confirm schools, square footage. Sold as-is, but welcome inspection.
