Property Description

Built in 1910, this stunning home offers over 3300 SqFt of timeless character and charm!

Nestled on a beautiful .40 acres, the property offers ample space for entertaining, gardening, and more – a rare find in the heart of downtown! PAID OFF SOLAR PANELS help lower electricity bills, a great addition to a large historic home. Entering through the front of the home, a Florida room is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee and is nicely shaded by a large Oak Tree in the front yard. Continuing into the home, a gorgeous stained glass front door opens into a warm and inviting entryway, rich with historic details.
