At first glance, this home may come across as an old historic beauty—which it is! That said, so much more awaits just beyond the front door. Approximately 30 years ago, this entire residence was lifted off its original foundation and completely and extensively restored and improved. A new basement foundation was poured, HVAC / central air was installed, alongside new electrical, plumbing, insulation, and more. Within the residence, you will thankfully still enjoy the original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and ornate details of the Victorian era. This spacious 2500SQFT 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home offers an oversized kitchen, ample entertaining and dining options, generous storage, main floor bedroom and bath. The upper level bedrooms are nearly as large as most living rooms, including the primary suite which has an ensuite bath and large closets. The home is positioned on a double lot, with a full fence for the rear next to the parking pad. This is a unique, extensively improved historic home that is truly one of a kind. While minor exterior maintenance and painting are needed, this stately and spacious residence is a wonderful value and offers a move-in-ready opportunity as it stands.
