This 1887 brick Victorian home sits on an absolute magnificent property. The newly fenced lot is huge - approximately 50x189x50x199 (9880 Sq Ft zoned R1) and has a paved alley. Currently a 1600 SF 3 bedroom home with a family room and wood burning fireplace. All 3 floors would offer 2500 square feet of living space.
