Seller is offering up to $5,000 for buyer closing costs with acceptable offer! There's a lot of history in this property. Elementary School namesake Kate Wickham lived nearby and played here as a child! It was built before the Lucas street bridge collapsed in 1906. If only the walls could talk! This charming home is close to all the downtown action, yet tucked away on a dead-end street in a quiet neighborhood. This home has recently had all major updates completed for you, with a newer kitchen and baths, stainless steel appliances, HVAC, plumbing, electrical panel, knob and tube wiring removed, and paint. Enter the home from the large enclosed front porch or the spacious main floor laundry/mudroom. The large kitchen and living room offer plenty of space for culinary creations and entertaining. The main floor bedroom has an ensuite bath. Upstairs you will find three more bedrooms and two additional baths. The yard offers plenty of space to entertain, garden, and is even long enough to fine tune your golf skills. The home has been inspected, and many of the remedy items have been addressed. (Please see attachments.) All this historic home needs now is a new owner to give it some love!
