Property Description

Featuring approximately 2,142 square feet, four bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, this spacious home offers generous living areas and plenty of character. A covered front porch creates a welcoming entrance, while original woodwork, a detailed staircase, and a decorative fireplace highlight the home’s classic charm.

Previously reported improvements include a water heater replaced in 2018, an electrical breaker box update in 2021, three front windows replaced in 2024, and new storm doors and a front entry door in 2025. Buyers should verify improvement details and dates. The layout also presents potential for conversion into a duplex for investors interested in exploring a two-unit rental strategy.

With current rental income, spacious interiors, and potential for future reconfiguration, this home deserves a closer look.
