"Hello, I'm 130 East Union. I've stood proudly for more than a century, and while my current owners may have covered some of my walls with wallpaper over the years, beneath it all I'm still the same grand home I've always been. Did you notice my beautiful original doors? They've been welcoming family, friends, and neighbors for generations, and they're still here to welcome you home today. Where else can you find bedrooms this massive, original hardwood flooring, and beautiful original wood trim that has survived the test of time? I sit on approximately 3.8 acres, giving me the feel of a mini farm while still being conveniently close to town. I've hosted family gatherings, raised children, and created memories for more than 100 years. My fireplaces, spacious rooms, and timeless character tell a story that simply can't be replicated in today's construction. And did I mention that I have three extremely large walk-in closets? Homes of my era weren't known for abundant closet space, making this a rare feature that you'll appreciate every day. With a little vision and love, I can once again showcase the craftsmanship and charm that make historic homes so special. I'm ready for my next chapter and for a new family to create memories within my walls. If you're looking for space, character, acreage, and a home with a story to tell, I'd love to meet you. Please help me find my next owner and continue the legacy I've been building for over a century."
