This is your opportunity to take an untouched antique Victorian and bring her into the 21st century!

Featuring front & back staircases, spacious rooms, tall ceilings, large windows, & a walk-up attic, this property is a rare find. The home’s rich Victorian details have been beautifully preserved, including the gracious curved grand staircase, carved marble fireplaces, original hardwood floors, solid wood doors with antique doorknobs, marble sinks/counters, built-in cabinetry, butler’s pantry, & even converted gas light fixtures. The flexible floor plan lends itself perfectly to a multi-generational setup, in-law suite, or a full two-family conversion.
