About 902 1st St

BACKYARD BARBECUES AND WIFFLE BALL GAMES are what make growing up in a friendly old house fun and memorable! As you step inside the foyer, a curving staircase gracefully reaches the second floor. Original pine plank floors, tall ceilings and a charming fireplace add warmth and character to the light and airy living room. Featuring a built-in china cabinet and bay window, meal time will always be memorable in the spacious dining room. With a curved wall of bookshelves/entertainment center, the quaint and cozy family room is the perfect spot to relax, read a good book or catch a movie. A covered patio, handy laundry room and full bath are conveniently located off the family room. Storage and working counter-space abounds in the bright and cheerful eat-in kitchen. A home office could be easily used as a first floor bedroom. There are four (two conjoined with their adjacent) bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. Off one of the bedrooms is a finished attic storage space that would make a perfect playroom. Loved by the same family since 1970, be sure to make this one of a kind Victorian home yours today!
