About 305 Carson St
**This home has a 4.875% FHA Assumable loan!** The bones are historic, but everything about this oversized 1,344 square foot 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home is modern. Originally built in the 1890s as a 3-bedroom home, this stunning property has been comprehensively updated to meet 2026’s lifestyle with tons of upgrades and improvements. Step inside to an airy, light-filled layout boasting extra deep windowsills, high ceilings with recessed lighting and brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring stretching through the open living area.

The home features a new 40-gallon water heater with an expansion tank (2025), a whole-home water softener (2025), and professional water pressure optimization to extend the life of your plumbing. Extensive updates include a newer roof (2023), partially replaced interior cast iron drainage lines, and upgraded interior and exterior light fixtures.
