Discover the possibilities in this character-filled two-story home offering a wealth of space and potential to create something truly your own.

Inside this 4-bedroom, 2 bath home, you'll find natural woodwork, original-style trim, and hardwood flooring in select rooms that offer a glimpse of the home's character and craftsmanship. The spacious layout provides room to reimagine the living areas, refresh the interior, and create a look that blends classic charm with modern appeal. Whether your vision is a rewarding renovation, an investment property, or a home customized to your own taste, there's plenty of room to explore the possibilities.

The opportunities extend beyond the main living space. Enclosed front and back porches offer additional areas to enhance for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying a little extra usable space. A generously sized area between the garage and kitchen could be reworked into a home office, casual gathering space, hobby room, or functional everyday hub. A partial basement provides additional storage or utility space, while the attached one-car garage and additional detached one-car garage offer valuable flexibility for parking, projects, tools, or storage.

An exciting opportunity for investors, renovators, and visionaries to see what this property could become. With its four-bedroom layout, substantial finished square footage, original character, and multiple garage spaces, this home offers a foundation for a creative renovation and a chance to make this property your own.
