Step back in time with this charming story-and-a-half home, originally built in 1915 and full of character and opportunity. Offering approximately 1,794 square feet of living space, the home features two bedrooms on the main level, with two additional rooms upstairs that could potentially serve as bedrooms, offices, or flex spaces. The main level offers a large dining room, original wood floors, and plenty of storage throughout. Central air conditioning was added in 2023, along with a radon mitigation system for added peace of mind. The full basement is unfinished, providing abundant storage and plenty of potential for future use. Outside, enjoy a large fenced-in backyard situated on the edge of town, offering privacy, space to entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The property combines the charm of small-town living with plenty of room to make it your own. The detached garage is best suited for storage rather than vehicle parking, making it a useful bonus for tools, equipment, hobbies, or additional storage needs. If you're looking for an older home with original character, generous living space, lots of storage, and a spacious yard in a quiet small-town setting, this property is worth a look!
