This reimagined 1895 Victorian offers 3 bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms, a walk in pantry, a full laundry, and mudroom all with the warmth of original windows and the ease of practical modern updates all on a .41 acre lot.
Remodeled in 2024, it features all new: electrical, added central air conditioning, water heater, flooring (LVP and tile), light fixtures, cabinets, countertops, paint, appliances, concrete driveway, roof, and gutters.
An oversized two-car detached garage was built in 1976 with a bonus workspace for the hobbyist, woodworker, or storage space while the large fenced yard creates space to relax, gather, and enjoy everyday living outdoors.
