About 179 W Central St

If houses could swipe right, this one would be your perfect match: updated everything, gorgeous finishes, and a layout that makes you want to move in yesterday. Seriously, everyone who tours falls in love — with the house. Now, let’s talk about the location. It’s across from a cemetery and near a main road — which makes it a little different, a little bold, and honestly part of what makes this home so unique. Some visitors have left saying, “We love the house… we just wish we could pick it up and move it.” (We wish we could too — it’s that good.)The inside? A total 10/10. The value? Pretty much unbeatable. If you’re someone who can appreciate a home that stands out in more ways than one, this beauty is ready to meet you. OH Sat and Sun
