Description
OPEN SUNDAY (1-3) Stately and comfortable. Historic brick beauty, just moments to Downtown. High ceilings, open flow, beautiful hardwood, large rooms, situated on almost half an acre in the middle of town! Intact pocket doors and service stairs. They don't make them like this anymore. Good clean basement, and awesome walk-up attic space that would be simple to finish and for expandability. Additional free-standing studio in the rear has tons of light, power, climate control, and water. Check with city, but could possibly be finished for mother-in-law suite. Perfect detached home office as it is. 851 Locust offers convenient Downtown location, coupled with a large lot for gardening, pets, whatever one likes! See photos. She's a beauty!
