One of the biggest half houses on Jefferson Road at 1,728 sq ft. That doesn't include the basement nor the walk up attic both of which can be finished. Built by the Warren family. It could use an updated kitchen. 9' ceilings, big rooms and a fireplace in the living room. Best of all, location is three blocks from middle of town. Nice backyard with patio, two car parking next to classic stonewall and an enclosed front proch to watch the world go by.
