This Victorian home on the National Historic registry was built in 1865 and addition in 1890 with 12" brick walls and 12 foot ceilings.
Beautiful wood floors in the living room and dining room and believed to have wood under the carpeting. Stylish craftsmanship in the cabinetry and woodwork supplying much storage are throughout the home. The living room fireplace has been capped and can become usable once again. A beautiful staircase leads to bedrooms upstairs and 2 of the bathrooms including the laundry area. One of the bedrooms has a full wall of built-in cabinets. Staying with the time period there is a clawfoot tub in the upstairs bathroom. In 2002 a 32' x 28' two-car garage was built including an insulated 16' x 27' loft.
The shaded yard with a black iron fence on the front and side yard provides great appeal. Sellers entertained, raised a family and is a testament to caring about their neighborhood's image. So much to say about this home. Please come see for yourself.
