Built in 1907, the home preserves original character like high ceilings and hardwoods while featuring essential modern updates including AC mini-splits and a renovated kitchen with stainless appliances.
With only 530 square feet of interior space and a single bedroom, the home's small size may be restrictive for many buyers and limits functional living arrangements.
The 2,300 square foot lot is relatively small for a single-family residence, which could constrain outdoor activities and large-scale architectural expansion.
