Description
Handyman special with charm and history! Built in 1882, this two-story farmhouse in the heart of Viola offers over 1,600 sq. ft. of living space on nearly 0.6 acres. With 4 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a classic frame construction, this home is filled with character and the solid bones of 19th-century craftsmanship. High ceilings, vintage woodwork, and a traditional layout provide a blank canvas for restoration or modern updates. An oversize two-car detached garage built by Byler's adds both functionality and value. Enjoy small-town living with a spacious yard, mature trees, and plenty of room for gardens, outdoor living, or expansion. Utilities include private well and septic. This property is being sold as-is, perfect for investors, DIY enthusiasts, or anyone looking to bring new life into a home with deep roots in Kent County history. With some vision and TLC, 9 W Howard Street can truly shine again.
