Near downtown restaurants and entertainment. The 8 foot entrance doors open into a stunning wood paneled foyer with spindled pocket doors and and scraped floors. It's like walking back to 1890 here on "Silk Stocking Row" - only with today's updated mechanicals! The roof is new with transferable warranty. Although new exterior paint is needed, the restoration won an award from the city! The entire house was professionally rewired, almost all plumbing has been replaced, wooden windows were restored, and interior is pristine. Just awaiting your cherished antiques. Currently used as conforming two unit. (Zoning allows for 1-2.) There is NO construction needed to return to a single family because of the heated central staircase as seen on floor plan. 2nd floor is rented month to month for $1,000. Tenants mow and shovel. All of the four bedrooms on the 2nd floor have closets and one has a tandem room with true farmhouse sink. Perfect for a master bath or nursery! The down-to-the-studs renovated 2nd floor bath has a 6 foot clawfoot tub. The home's three fireplaces can easily be made functional again. Tons of room for the price! Full 8 foot tall limestone basement, two sheds outside, two fenced lots with mature landscaping, flower beds, and parking. Walk up attic loft with majestic 18 feet high peak begs to be used as additional 3rd story living space.
