About this home

This home is now a tremendous value. This Miller style 2 family home was built for this upscale Neighborhood. There is so much potential for this gem with the original wood moldings and the large living rooms, fireplaces and bright sunrooms. The 1st floor has been recently renovated and the 2nd floor could be very nice with some updating. This classic has character, charm, size and location and now it features price!
