Description

Some houses whisper. This one practically dares someone to bring it back to life. Built in the late 1800s, this oversized Victorian-inspired home still carries the kind of character you simply cannot recreate today. From the moment you step through the front entry, the staircase becomes the centerpiece, framed by original-style details, decorative trim, crown molding, and tucked-away storage beneath the stairs that feels straight out of another era. Pocket doors open into a striking living room where oversized windows wrap the space in natural light and a decorative fireplace anchors the room with vintage charm. The dining room continues the story with exposed brick, recessed lighting, and another dramatic window arrangement that gives the home its unmistakable architectural personality. The kitchen blends updates with opportunity, offering wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, gas range, glass tile backsplash, oversized sink, breakfast area potential, laundry hookup, and space ready for a future island centerpiece. Two renovated full baths feature tile surrounds, glass tile accents, and upscale finishes including one with a dual-head walk-in shower and the other with a deep soaking tub. Upstairs, the massive hallway creates additional flex space while the bedrooms continue the home's distinctive design with angled window alcoves, exposed brick details, and generous closet areas including a large walk-in setup in the front bedroom. Outside, the mostly fenced yard, concrete front porch, remaining architectural posts to erect, and rear deck all hint at what this property could become with vision and restoration. The home does need repairs and finishing work, but the hard-to-find details, scale, and craftsmanship already here make the potential impossible to ignore. This is the kind of project people wait years to find.
