At $324,900 ($132/sq ft), it combines Turn-of-the-Century character— soaring 10-foot ceilings, a grand open staircase, original trim, and a deep front porch—with high-value mechanical updates.

Unlike many late-19th-century properties requiring immediate renovation budgets, this 2,450 sq ft residence is move-in ready. It sits on a quarter-acre lot featuring manicured gardens and an iconic detached carriage house (providing 2.5 garage spaces and flexible workshop/storage space).
