Featuring 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, and over 3,400 square feet, this property showcases beautiful original woodwork and architectural detail that would be difficult to replicate today. Key mechanical systems — plumbing, electrical, and HVAC — have already been updated over the years. The home is ready for its next chapter and will require repairs and cosmetic renovation, including roof repair, kitchen and bath updates, and paint to name a few. A detached 3-car barn with full loft adds exceptional flexibility for storage, studio space, or potential additional living area (subject to approvals). A rare chance to bring a historic gem back to life — Seller will not be making repairs. Cash or Conventional or rehab financing recommended.
