Regardless, it's old.
Although, it isn't listed on any historical registry.
"Based on what is required when you put it on the historical society, you need to ask permission. There's so much red tape that is required, and (the sellers) didn’t want that," Austin Duerr, the listing realtor said.
There are still many original features inside the home including the: banister, a cabinet, stone structure, window pane, and much more.
The home is three bedrooms and one bath. It occupies two lots. The house went on the market Tuesday morning and the open house will be Sunday the 23rd from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
