Character. Charm. Opportunity. This beautifully updated home blends historic character with modern improvements, creating a warm and inviting space you'll love coming home to. Original architectural details, soaring ceilings, decorative fireplaces, updated lighting, rich finishes, and spacious living areas give this home a style that's difficult to find in newer construction. With 4 bedrooms, generous entertaining spaces, and a kitchen that's nearing completion, much of the heavy lifting has already been done. Plumbing is already in place for the future addition of a primary bathroom, offering even more opportunity for the next owner. Step outside to enjoy the large, landscaped yard complete with a patio and fire pit; perfect for summer evenings, weekend gatherings, or simply relaxing after a long day. A detached one-stall garage adds extra convenience. If you've been looking for a home that offers personality, modern updates, room to grow, and excellent value, this is one you won't want to miss. Being sold As-Is.
