Back on market. Price adjusted to reflect condition and items noted in prior inspection. If you’ve been waiting for a home with character, space, and real potential, this is it. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is rich with original charm from hardwood floors and built-ins to timeless woodwork and wide trim. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers plenty of room to gather, while the main floor laundry with a utility sink adds everyday convenience. A true highlight of the property is the detached 2-car carriage house, complete with a loft perfect for storage, a workshop, or future creative use. The .51-acre lot adjacent to the home provides even more opportunity for expansion, gardening, or designing your ideal outdoor space. Yes, the home could use some TLC, but the character, space, and potential are all here. With a little vision, this property can truly shine once again. The property includes 2 parcels.
