This one’s got character for days—in the best, “they-don’t-build-them-like-this-anymore” kind of way. Built in 1959 and lovingly preserved, this single-level home is a true time capsule with all the charm of its original finishes—ready for someone who appreciates vintage style or wants the perfect canvas to make it their own. Sitting on a large lot, there’s room to stretch out, garden, entertain, or just enjoy a little extra elbow room. And then there’s the shop—26×38, powered, concrete floors, 220 outlet, and its own meter. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a car enthusiast, or just someone who needs serious space, this setup is hard to beat. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful updates where they count: new water heater, gas furnace, and A/C in 2024, plus new toilets already taken care of. The home also includes the fridge and washer/dryer—one less thing to think about. A dry pantry in the garage and built-in storage throughout mean everything has its place (and then some). It’s vintage, it’s practical, and it’s packed with potential—whether you lean into the retro vibe or bring your own modern vision to life.
