A timeless gem nestled centrally in Bedford, this historical 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence exudes charm, anchored by a gorgeous Indiana limestone front porch with elegant limestone columns. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by preserved original woodwork and a striking wooden staircase that enriches the home’s character. The living room includes a cozy gas-log fireplace and is adorned with coffered ceilings, and opens up to the den, and the oversized dining room with lovely wooden built-in's to case your finest dishes. All four bedrooms and one full bath are located on the second floor with an oversized primary bedroom and walk-in closet; the second full bath is on the main level. The roof is approximately five years old, and the house is heated by a traditional boiler and radiator system, which was serviced last winter. Cooling is via window units only—no central air system. Outdoors, a small fenced side yard, ample parking, and a one-car attached garage provide both charm and practicality. The seller has lovingly called this home theirs for over 30 years. The home features original plaster walls and ceilings that enhance its historic charm with some areas in need of repair. A third staircase leads to the attic above, offering a potential workshop or craft retreat. This home is a must-see! Home Being Sold As-Is, Cash or Conventional Financing Only.
