Step back in time and imagine the possibilities with this stately 1895 American Four Square! Bursting with charm and character, this spacious home features generous room sizes throughout, including a main level living room, family room, formal dining room, kitchen, full bathroom, convenient laundry area, and a back porch. Upstairs, you'll find four sizable bedrooms and another full bathroom. Original architectural details showcase the craftsmanship of the era. Don’t miss the stunning open staircase, intricate colonnades adorned with latticework, a bay window, and a classic transom window that adds light and style. This is an investor or handyman special with tremendous potential. The roof needs replacement in the area where the widow's walk was removed, but the bones of this beauty are strong and just waiting for your vision. Bring your ideas, your elbow grease, and breathe new life into a home that’s ready to shine once again! Sold in AS IS condition.
