Step into the character and charm of this 1936 one-and-a-half story home that’s packed with personality and original details! From the moment you walk in, you’ll love the vintage touches—like the 11 original glass door knobs, solid wood doors, and beautifully preserved hardwood floors.
The main level offers two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, with thoughtful layout and natural light throughout. Upstairs is a true gem—a spacious, open-concept bedroom that spans the entire upper floor, complete with built-in drawers and cozy nooks perfect for relaxing, reading, or just enjoying your own private retreat.
Downstairs you’ll find a full unfinished basement ready for storage, hobbies, or future finishing. Step outside to the partially fenced yard, where you can unwind on the back porch or entertain friends and family.
Bonus features include a two-car tandem garage and 1,228 finished square feet of charm and potential in the home. This one is perfect for someone who appreciates a well-built home with timeless character—and it’s ready for your personal touch!
