Property spans three oversized city lots with private off-street parking for approximately 10 vehicles. Approx. 3,500+ sq ft above grade with additional unfinished basement space offering potential to exceed 4,500+ total sq ft.

Features include hand-cut stone, brick exterior details, stone turret, open staircases, oversized rooms, and unique architectural elements throughout.
Major improvements include updated commercial-grade electrical wiring, updated plumbing, partial window replacements, new sheetrock, staircase restoration, ductwork for central air, two newer air conditioning units, and kitchen installation. Interior renovations remain unfinished. Property sold strictly as-is. Buyer responsible for obtaining and completing any required municipal and/or occupancy inspections, permits, certifications, and approvals. Proof of funds required prior to all showings.
