    What's special

    This is a really unique home. You really need to get inside to appreciate how "neat" this home is. This is an old house that has the charm and comfort you would expect in a home built is 1913. The exterior was painted in 2010. You will enjoy the large front porch (perfect for that relaxing porch swing). The roof was replaced in 2000. A new water heater was installed in 2010. The basement is not technically finished but the owners use the space. There is a door leading from the basement to the backyard. There is also a back deck for the people who want some privacy. All three bedrooms are on the second floor. There is also a bonus room on the second floor that would be a perfect office or computer room. The living room and dining room on the main floor have gorgeous hardwood floors. Unique floor plan.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
