About this House

Just move right into this updated classic downtown Victorian! No fixup needed here as you'll find newer kitchen, bath, windows, quality mechanicals, roof, insulation, LVT flooring etc, etc... It's all done! You'll not only love downtown living but also the wonderful fenced backyard with garden area, patio under a shade tree, large garage and an additional 10x24 connected storage area all in a quiet neighborhood setting 2 blocks from the Boardman Lake trail! Bonus is the wide steps directly through backdoor to the basement area with epoxy flooring to have more useable space or storage and stairs to potentially finish attic space!. Classic, well cared for/updated, comfortable, convenient!
