An inviting full front porch is perfect for enjoying the comings and goings of Hampton Park.

Original details include wood floors, arched doorways and recently exposed rafters. You'll also find new kitchen cabinetry and a recently updated full bathroom. This property not only captures the nostalgia of downtown living but also holds promise for versatile living arrangements or investment opportunities.
