This property sits on a generous lot with alley access, mature trees, and multiple exterior structures. The location is central and convenient for those looking to be in town. The interior provides substantial square footage to work with, including a large galley kitchen, two separate living areas and multiple spaces that can be reconfigured into additional bedrooms or functional layouts.
