Historic Charm on Over Half an Acre! Step into the timeless character of this beautifully maintained historic home situated on a spacious corner lot with lush, mature landscaping. Rich in original details, this residence showcases hardwood floors, solid wood doors with original hardware, and a classic clawfoot tub that highlights its vintage appeal. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home also features a versatile bonus room that could easily function as a third bedroom, home office, or flex space.
