If you’ve been searching for a property rich in character with the opportunity to build equity, this is the one! As you approach the home, you’re welcomed by a large, inviting front porch—perfect for entertaining or relaxing—overlooking a private front and side yard bordered by mature hedges. Step inside to a grand foyer showcasing extensive natural woodwork and a charming built-in bench that immediately highlights the home’s historic craftsmanship. The first-floor apartment features a spacious kitchen with original wood cabinetry, pantry, and a classic country sink, with a back door leading to a private rear porch. This unit also offers a generously sized living room with built-ins and a wood-burning stove insert, extensive pocket doors, a formal dining room with a stained-glass light fixture, two well-sized bedrooms, a bonus room ideal for an office or den, and a full bathroom complete with a historic clawfoot tub. The second-floor apartment features a stunning large stained-glass window, a spacious foyer with built-ins leads to a living room featuring a decorative fireplace and a kitchenette. This apartment includes three nicely sized bedrooms, all with ample closet space. Additionally, there is a separate room and closet outside the current apartment footprint that could potentially serve as a second-floor laundry area or additional storage. The third-floor apartment offers a versatile open living space with two skylights, a quaint kitchen with access to a fire escape, a full bathroom with a clawfoot tub, and a large bedroom with closet. Off this unit is a substantial unfinished attic space, providing endless potential for expansion or storage. Additional highlights include a driveway with off-street parking, a garage, and all appliances currently on the premises are included in the sale. Delayed negotiations will take place January 27th at 2:00 PM.
