    Rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved historic brick home on 1.2 acres! Built in 1898, this exceptional property blends timeless craftsmanship with comfortable modern living. Surrounded by mature maple and pine trees on a quiet city street next to the city library, this home offers character and privacy that are increasingly difficult to find. Approximately 2,681 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 1½ baths, the home showcases stunning quarter-sawn oak trim, leaded-glass windows, large pocket doors, 10-foot main-floor ceilings, and the original fireplace mantel. The finished attic provides a versatile bonus room complete with a gas fireplace. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet, while the third bedroom has new carpet.

Two geothermal HVAC units provide efficient heating and cooling. The property also features two 2½-car garages, two driveways, 400-amp electrical service, radon mitigation, water softener, reverse osmosis, and a 30-amp RV hookup—an impressive combination of space, functionality, and convenience.
