Its wood-sided exterior, curved roofline, and welcoming front porch offer a glimpse of early-20th-century residential design, while the grand staircase and oak flooring bring warmth and craftsmanship to the interior.

Upstairs, pine floors lead to three bedrooms, including one with access to an enclosed porch featuring its own exterior entrance—a small, distinctive detail that gives the house a character rarely found in newer construction.

The kitchen and bathrooms provide everyday functionality, while a new roof, updated boiler, three ductless air-conditioning units, and select replacement windows bring welcome modern improvements. Downstairs, the basement offers additional storage and room to consider future projects, while a detached garage, carport, and fenced backyard add practical value.

Located near the river and Waverly’s ball diamond, the property combines an established neighborhood setting with the intimacy of a traditional Victorian home.

Offered at $139,500, this is an appealing opportunity for someone who appreciates the details that make an old house irreplaceable—and wants to give its stained glass, original woodwork, and enduring character a place in the next chapter.
