This 1890 Victorian is well-maintained but retains many dated features that require modernization. The kitchen is described as 'period-style' with original cabinetry and an older layout, and the home only features one bathroom for three bedrooms. While the exterior is iconic and the interior is clean, the presence of older carpeting, dated parquet flooring, and original 19th-century components indicates that major systems and aesthetic features are aged and show signs of being outdated compared to modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8751, living area = 1406.
Known as the 'iconic purple Victorian,' this 1890 Queen Anne residence features preserved historic details like high ceilings and original craftsmanship that offer unique character and high curb appeal.
