This adorable three bed ,two bath bungalow sits on a large lot just steps from Castle St and all that it has to offer: yoga, vintage shopping, a wine shop, coffee and several locally owned restaurants! This home has been rented to the same tenant for 20 years, and maintained well by the owners. New roof in 2019 and new HVAC in 2020.. The home was built in 1940 and features a large front porch, original pine floors, and interior arches characteristic of that period. A few updates will bring this jazz age back to it's glory!
