About this House

NO LONGER IN A FLOOD PLAIN!!! TERRIFIC OPPORTUNITY! This five bedroom, 1 bath, 2 half-bath Victorian was a grand home once upon a time - and could be again: It has huge rooms, tall ceilings, fab vintage design elements, and GORGEOUS trim & woodwork throughout. The main floor also has a separate suite w/exterior door - so could be used for extended family or home business. There is a large main floor BR, and 4 more upstairs (one w/kitchenette). The walk-up attic has soaring ceilings & lots of natural light, and the full basement has plumbing, a workbench, and plenty of storage. [BONUS: newer roof; hardwood under carpet.] The outdoor space is a treat: There is a wrap-around screened porch + raised patio; a big open yard w/trees, garden & grapevines, and a 2 car garage. Set on a generous 3/4 acre corner lot, and convenient to town. Needs quite a bit of TLC to make it a home again - but could be a real peach. Come and see! (c)2022
