A bargain for the right buyer. This place is packed with old-school charm from the early 1900s, and the huge wraparound porch just seals the deal. It already has the porch swing in place, so all you need to bring is the coffee and maybe a good book. I could absolutely see myself out there in the evenings, enjoying the breeze and watching the day wind down.

Inside, I’m totally smitten. There’s original beadboard and wainscot all over the place, and that mid-stair landing is such a lovely touch. My favorite spot is the living room, hands down. It has a big fireplace, a bay window, and just the kind of character you want in a house like this. I wouldn’t even touch most of the colorful paint. I think it adds to the charm, and it gives the house a little personality.

The bathroom has been updated, which is nice, but the clawfoot tub next to that oversized tile shower feels a little like a design compromise. There’s also some ceiling damage above the sink that looks like it could be water-related. Something to check out before diving in too deep.

There are a couple of outbuildings, including a carport and a “storage barn” with power. The barn has multiple access points and a big sliding door, so you could turn it into just about anything. Workshop, studio, goat palace — the options are wide open.

The lot itself is mostly wooded, so if you’re dreaming of wide open pastures, you’ll need to clear some trees. I did spot a little fenced area on the satellite that looks like it could be a starter garden or a spot for chickens or small livestock.

If you’re the kind of person who gets excited about restoring old homes and shaping your own space, this one could be a gem. It’s got good bones, character for days, and just enough quirks to make it interesting.
