This classic American Foursquare is more than a home-it's an opportunity to bring craftsmanship, character, and timeless design back to center stage. Offering 5 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, this spacious residence showcases the generous room sizes, traditional floor plan, and architectural presence that made Foursquare homes one of America's most enduring styles. Inside, you'll find the framework of a home that once displayed the elegance and ornate details of its era. Historic architectural elements and period character await a new owner with vision, creativity, and an appreciation for restoration. The property requires repairs and updates, but for the right buyer, the opportunity to preserve and reimagine a classic home may be well worth the effort. And then there's the rear yard-a true hidden gem.

The surrounding communities are known for their architectural heritage, historic significance, and ongoing neighborhood revitalization efforts. This is an amazing opportunity to restore beauty, preserve character, and create something truly special. Whether you're inspired by historic architecture, restoration projects, or the chance to bring a grand home back to life, this property offers the rare opportunity to write its next chapter.
