Fall in love with this beautiful yard! The nearly half acre fenced backyard is surrounded by trees and offers a uniquely private retreat, perfect for gatherings, gardening or bird watching. Nestled on a quiet street near downtown Charlestown, this charming historic home blends convenience with character. Historical maps trace the house's roots to 1899. Inside, its rich history is evident in the many original details. The front three rooms and upstairs are solid brick, preserving the home's craftsmanship. The spacious main bedroom showcases gorgeous woodwork, while the upstairs bedroom features a walk-in closet and wood-burning stove. The living room floors have been recently sanded and refinished, complementing the original 19th-century fireplace, which remains intact but is currently capped. This solidly constructed home is move-in ready. Recent improvements include a new furnace (2022), tankless water heater, gutters (2019), luxury vinyl plank bathroom flooring, a new tub and surround (2024), nine replacement windows, and fresh paint throughout. The back section of the home, added in 1930, underwent a full renovation in 2018, with new sill plates, floor joists, insulation, and updated electrical. The bright kitchen offers plenty of natural light, and a spacious utility room adds convenience. This home offers historic charm with modern comforts. Sq ft & rm sz approx.
