Property Description

Well-loved Craftsman in the historic Duckpond neighborhood is on the market for the first time in 37 years! Located on a spacious corner lot with mature trees and plantings, this home features a wrap-around porch on the south, a wooden deck on the north and a patio area off the detached garage. Bring your restoration visions to life in this charming home with lots of potential room for expansion. On the ground floor, there are two covered porches under roof that could add heated square footage downstairs. Ideal for a primary bedroom and bath expansion. The second story features two bedrooms and a large bathroom with a cast iron tub. There is a stairwell leading to the fully-floored, third-story attic providing another opportunity for livable square footage. Historic heart pine wood floors and large windows throughout. The kitchen features solid wood cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The detached garage and covered patio were added in 2003. The home also features a 2015 roof, 2022 Trane HVAC and 2024 water heater. Thoughtful upgrades over the years include electrical and plumbing updates, and a fully-enclosed crawlspace. This one won't last long. Come take a look!
