This stately 3-story home is full of character and waiting for the right vision to bring it back to life. Built decades ago with craftsmanship that's hard to find today, the home features original hardwood floors, and high ceilings. Though in need of significant updates and repairs, the home's classic layout includes spacious living areas, multiple bedrooms, and a full third floor perfect for a studio, office or guest suite with a covered front porch that could once again become a welcoming spot to relax. Located in a charming neighborhood.
