Built by the Wellingtons as a retirement home for the family patriarch, this 4 bedroom home on an oversized lot is showing its age. Its bones are good, but the house is in need of major updating. The home is livable, but major systems are old and need attention. This home has tremendous potential to become a showplace, with its beautiful original woodwork, walkup attic and the original carriage house that was converted into the 2 car garage.
