A rare opportunity to own one of the tallest and most distinctive homes on the block.

The spacious outdoor deck is in good condition and ready for gatherings, while the private driveway adds convenience. The roof is only about 3 years old and the furnace is new. Inside, you'll find vintage charm including a classic cast-iron clawfoot bathtub featuring porcelain enamel and graceful curved edges - a true nod to the home's historic character.

With light improvements, the property presents strong resale potential. Sale contingent upon seller securing a new home.
