Take me back to the good old days with this Craftsman that is both well maintained and has a lot to love. This home is zoned R-2 so that another dwelling can be placed on the lot. Great for investment, first time homeowner or those looking for a great home. Large front porch to enjoy the days or cool evenings, a good sized living room, a dining room area with built-in shelves and a plate rail that runs along both rooms. All of this plus a bonus sitting or storage room located in one of the bedrooms, inside laundry that features plenty of storage and lots of natural light. Large back yard with a shed. Located close to the library, shopping, restaurants and downtown.
