About this home

Once the king of the street, this massive beauty has fallen on hard times. Located on 2.77 acres in town this 5 bedroom majesty built in 1866 has all the character you could ever dream of! Huge 748 square foot wrap around front porch overlooks the deep front yard and the back yard is so large it was originally intended to be split into it's own street with multiple home sites. Floor to ceiling windows through much of the home provide ample light and views of the amazing location. Possibility exists to add an additional two bedrooms to make this a 7 bedroom home. Ornate wood burning fireplace, cathedral ceilings, arched doorways, unique striped hardwood floors, and more character than many of the homes in town combined. Yes, it will be work to get this home back to a majesty, but it will be 100% worth it! Preapproval letter required before showing.
