A true jewel box of a property and what a terrific deal. The 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom main house was built in 1932 and although upgraded has retained its original charm - wainscoting, hardwood floors, beautiful built-ins, enclosed front porch, etc. New roof approx 3 - 4 years old, upgraded furnace & A/C, double pane windows and more. The studio is gorgeous and detached from main house. This is a bautiful unit and is tenant occupied. Both houses are in true move in condition.
