Original details and a classic layout provide an inviting foundation for a truly special residence. Once refreshed, the combination of historic character and modern finishes will create a remarkable home in one of Bethel's most convenient locations.

For more than three decades, this home was lovingly occupied by wonderful tenants, adding to a remarkable family history spanning half a century. Now, this charming home is ready to be reimagined and enjoyed for decades to come.
