About This Home
Here’s a beautiful Second Empire Victorian waiting for someone with a passion for restoration and a love of historic architecture. With its signature mansard roof, elegant woodwork, built-ins, and tall ceilings, this building holds the character and charm of its era while offering the potential for modern living. Most recently a four-unit property, it has been thoughtfully reimagined into a six-unit apartment building, with permits already in place. The layout includes a three-bedroom unit, a two-bedroom unit, and four one-bedroom units—an ideal opportunity to bring much-needed housing to the area. Major structural work has been completed, including extensive repairs to the NW side, where foundation and framing issues were remedied from the ground up using dimensional lumber to match the original. The interior has been gutted, allowing for a fresh start while preserving period details. A high-efficiency, two-boiler propane system, designed by F.W. Webb, has been roughed in at a cost of approximately $30K, offering a tandem setup where each unit works together or stands alone if needed. The plan was to include heat and hot water in the rent. Electrical infrastructure is in place for seven meters—one per unit plus a common meter for shared areas and the boiler room. Located on 'The Hill,' this property is just moments from schools, shops, restaurants, and all the conveniences of town.
