Inside the home
This is a 1915 full-brick century home on a large corner lot in Henderson. The original craftsman details are genuine and well-preserved — coffered beam ceilings in the living room, heavy oak trim throughout, an original stained-glass sideboard in the dining room, and a full staircase with intact millwork. These aren't cosmetic reproductions. The condition is uneven. One upstairs bathroom has been fully redone with a large walk-in shower and quality tile. The kitchen, by contrast, is a mid-2000s repaint with white appliances and painted cabinets — it needs a full update. Several bedrooms have carpet in poor shape. The third-floor attic is raw and unfinished but has real square footage and ceiling height. Buyers who want a house they can move straight into without any work will find gaps here. Buyers who want original character on a generous lot, with room to improve on their own timeline, have more to work with than most century homes in this price range.
