Zoned for multifamily use, the property includes a detached single-car garage with an adjacent powered room, offering potential for an ADU conversion.

Double-paned windows ensure energy efficiency throughout the home. The spacious, fully fenced backyard and deck provide ideal outdoor living space for gardening and entertainment. Listed at $350,000, this charming residence balances historic character with modern upgrades and potential for expansion.
