Just off the kitchen is an inviting 18' x 10' screened porch overlooking the backyard. Rich in original period details, the first floor showcases three fireplaces located in the kitchen, living room, and dining room. The sun-filled living room features wide-plank hardwood flooring, a fireplace, and windows on three sides. The spacious dining room offers matching wide-plank flooring, its own fireplace, and distinctive moldings that reflect the home's timeless craftsmanship. The second-floor features hardwood flooring throughout, a generous landing, four bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, including one that has been gutted and is ready for renovation to suit your vision. This is a rare opportunity to restore and personalize a historic home while benefiting from significant structural, environmental, and mechanical improvements already being completed by the seller. The roof was replaced in 2011. The property is an excellent candidate for a Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation Loan, allowing buyers to finance additional improvements while preserving the home's remarkable history.
