Home Description

This solid brick Grand Dame has so much character! She could easily be converted "back" to a single family home if desired! Currently she has 2 apartments, the upstairs being one, & the main floor & basement as the other. Hardwood floors throughout, stained glass windows, huge solid oak pocket doors, radiant heat (the best there is!) with all the charm of yesteryear. There is a finished office in the basement, along with a huge open room that could be used as a studio, workshop, or indoor play space, complete with its own stair-well access from outside. The main floor unit has several original light fixtures, glass door knobs, burled oak built-ins, several stained glass windows, wood beamed ceiling, with the centerpiece being an open fireplace, plus enclosed glass-front cabinets built-in on either side, & ...it comes with turn-of-the-century fire tools & grate. The 2nd floor unit has a private entrance via an exterior stairway, it too has hardwood floors, a cast iron fireplace with tile surround, a cute sunny kitchen, full bath, and 2 large bedrooms. This homes hasn't been available to the public in over 75 years. Come see the possibilities!
