About this home

Built in 1900, this 3-bedroom, 2 full bath home has been thoughtfully cared for, preserving the details that give older homes their character while incorporating updates where they matter. Original woodwork remains throughout the home, and the first-floor doors still feature transom windows complete with their original hardware. The main level offers 10-foot ceilings that create an open, comfortable feel, while the second floor features 8½-foot ceilings and three very large bedrooms with plenty of room for larger furniture or flexible use. The kitchen and both bathrooms have a clean, modern style that blends naturally with the home's historic features instead of competing with them. The covered front porch is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet morning or visit with friends, while the second-floor balcony offers another peaceful spot to relax and take in the views. Outside, you'll find 1.24 acres with room to spread out and enjoy nature. Persimmon trees, a raspberry bush, and established native wildflowers create seasonal color while attracting butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Whether you enjoy gardening, spending time outdoors, or simply appreciate having space around you, the setting offers plenty of possibilities. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find homes where the original craftsmanship has been preserved instead of removed. From the woodwork and tall ceilings to the transom windows and spacious rooms, this home has retained the features that made homes of this era special while providing the modern touches today's buyers expect. If you've been waiting for a home with genuine character, generous living space, and a setting that feels a little different from the ordinary, this one deserves a closer look.
