Description

Great opportunity to own this unique home just 5 blocks from the Jacobs School of Music. This home was built in 1916 as a duplex and then converted in the 1950s into a single family home. There are many period elements still in place and this large home is just waiting for its next life! The current owners have lived here for over 25 years and love the quiet, convenient neighborhood, the shady lot, and the natural light that fills the rooms of this gem. You can feel the history as you walk through...Great opportunity to own this unique home just 5 blocks from the Jacobs School of Music. This home was built in 1916 as a duplex and then converted in the 1950s into a single family home. There are many period elements still in place and this large home is just waiting for its next life! The current owners have lived here for over 25 years and love the quiet, convenient neighborhood, the shady lot, and the natural light that fills the rooms of this gem. You can feel the history as you walk through the rooms. When this home was converted the owner also added on 10 feet to both the first and second floors on the south side. There are 5 bedrooms 2 1/2 baths, & much more. There is also a 3rd level that is partially finished and would make a great studio space, yoga room, playroom, the options are endless! You will find 2 fireplaces, mostly hardwood floors, many built-ins and a large map of the world in one study that was put up in the 50's. The Home is being sold in "as is" condition.
