About This Home
Beautifully preserved historic brick Victorian offering timeless architectural character and thoughtful updates in a convenient location near the Central Business District and Niagara Street corridor. This distinctive 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home features approximately 11-foot ceilings throughout the first and second floors, original wood floors, exposed brick, and multiple decorative Eastlake-style fireplaces. The welcoming entry showcases substantial double exterior doors with an arched transom and a classic curved Victorian staircase accented by a large original-style newel post. The second floor offers two expansive bedrooms, with the primary suite featuring a walkthrough closet leading to an attached five-piece bath. The finished third floor adds versatile living space with vaulted ceilings, exposed brick walls, and access to an attic area with skylights. The full basement provides approximately 9-foot ceilings, glass-block windows, a high-efficiency furnace, new hot water tank (2024), and updated electrical. Additional improvements include a tear-off roof approximately 10 years old and an inviting front porch recently enhanced with Trex decking and metal railings. A rare opportunity to own a character-rich Victorian with impressive scale, original details, and valuable modern updates.
