About This Home

A rare opportunity to own one of the tallest and most distinctive homes on the block. Built over 100 years ago and lovingly owner-occupied for the past 30 years, this two-story historic home blends timeless character with solid upkeep and major upside potential. Set on an exceptionally large triple-lot property (3 separate tax PINs), this home boasts a huge backyard perfect for entertaining, expansion, gardening, or future development. The spacious outdoor deck is in good condition and ready for gatherings, while the private driveway adds convenience. The roof is only about 3 years old and the furnace is new. Inside, you'll find vintage charm including a classic cast-iron clawfoot bathtub featuring porcelain enamel and graceful curved edges - a true nod to the home's historic character. Pictures don't fully capture the scale and presence of this property.The current owner intended to complete renovations and has estimates available but is offering the chance for a new owner or investor to bring their vision to life. With light improvements, the property presents strong resale potential. Sale contingent upon seller securing a new home. Whether you're an investor, rehabber, or buyer seeking historic charm with room to grow, this property offers space, character, and upside that must be seen to appreciate
