Step back in time - but keep the comforts of today. This stunning Victorian gem in the heart of El Paso brings all the original character you dream of: intricate woodwork, ornate headers, functioning pocket doors, built-ins galore, and a dining room hutch that deserves its own fan club. With 2 beds, 2 baths, and a family room that could easily serve as a third bedroom, this layout works now and grows with you. Feeling ambitious? The walk-up attic is wide open with full headroom. It's an untapped canvas for the ultimate primary suite, art studio, or just the coolest space in town. Major updates already handled: newer windows (2003), bath remodel (2015), exterior paint (2014), HVAC (2008), appliances (2014), and fresh paint + carpet in 2016. This home is over 100 years young and ready for its next chapter. It's not just a house, it's a storybook. You just might be the next author.
