Step into timeless charm with this stunning 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath Victorian home situated on a desirable corner lot. Rich in character and craftsmanship, this home showcases original wood flooring and beautiful woodwork throughout, complemented by striking stained glass windows that add warmth and elegance. Once known as the “Fleming House”, local oral history in Northwood suggests that this home was once used as a stop to the Underground Railroad.
The inviting front porch welcomes you into spacious living areas featuring a real wood-burning fireplace—perfect for cozy evenings. Unique architectural details include two separate staircases providing access to both the upper level and the basement, adding both charm and functionality.
Enjoy peace of mind with major updates already completed, including new windows (2016), updated plumbing (2025), and transitioned from traditional radiant heat to a premium, high-efficiency Lenox forced-air furnace(2025), with central air setup already in place —blending historic beauty with modern comfort.
This one-of-a-kind home offers the perfect balance of classic Victorian character and thoughtful updates, all in a prime corner-lot location. A rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive property!
