Property Description

Historic 1895 Colonial style home with Endless Potential. Opportunity awaits with 3 floors of sprawling living space plus a basement, offering timeless architecture and the chance to restore a true classic to its former grandeur. With 7 bedrooms and 4 full and 1 half bathrooms, this expansive residence is ideal for investors, renovators, or visionaries seeking a statement property with historic charm. The home showcases many original elements ready to be revived, including generous room sizes, high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, period details, and traditional Colonial proportions.
