About this home

Inside the home

This is a genuine century home with original millwork that has survived intact — the stained glass oak front door, decorative columns, fireplace mantel, and staircase are the real thing, not reproductions. Hardwood floors run through the main level and upper hall in good condition for their age. The kitchen has been updated with white cabinetry, butcher block counters, and a stainless dishwasher. The rest of the house tells a different story: the only full bathroom retains its 1950s green fixtures and mosaic tile, several bedrooms have dated wallpaper and carpet, and the basement is unfinished. There is no central air and no garage. The third-floor attic is a large, open, wood-floored space — not finished living area, but a real candidate for conversion. Buyers drawn to period character will find a lot to work with here; buyers expecting updated finishes throughout will need to budget for renovations.

  • Exceptional original millwork — oak columns, staircase, newel posts, and stained glass front door all intact
  • Original fireplace mantel with period tile surround in excellent condition
  • Hardwood floors throughout main level and upper hallway in good shape
  • Large third-floor attic with conversion potential
  • Kitchen updated with white cabinetry, butcher block counters, and stainless dishwasher
  • Fenced backyard with patio area
  • Covered front veranda
