Charm and character are hard to recreate, and this 1905 Victorian has it in spades. Set on a large lot with room for a garden, chickens, or simply enjoying some extra outdoor space, this home has a lot to offer. Tall ceilings and an abundance of windows bring in plenty of natural light, while fresh interior paint gives the home a clean, refreshed feel. A main-floor bedroom and full bath add flexibility to the floor plan. Original fir floors and a period staircase with charming built-in details add to the character throughout. Recent improvements include a beautifully remodeled bathroom (2025), electrical panel, heat pump, tankless water heater, HardiePlank siding (2024), and a new vapor barrier in the crawl space. The existing garage adds even more potential and could make a great future DADU, subject to buyer verification with the appropriate agencies. For peace of mind, a home inspection is available for review.
