From the Zillow listing:
Step into history with this 1881 Italianate-style home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Boasting approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of space, this home features natural woodwork, hardwood floors, original crown molding, and ornate ceiling medallions throughout. Situated on a large corner lot with a circular driveway, the property offers ample outdoor space to complement its historic charm. Inside, the grand sweeping staircase adds a dramatic touch, leading to 4-5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (currently under construction), and a half bath in the basement. The attic, with its full original wood floor and walk-in access, remains unfinished, offering potential for customization. Recent updates include a newer roof (installed around 2007) with simulated synthetic architectural slate, copper valleys and flashing, and a 50-year warranty. The home also features two high-efficiency gas furnaces and central air units, perfect for subdividing the space into apartments, rentals, or a B&B. With professionally upgraded wiring throughout, new storm doors from Faberbee Windows and Doors, and a large-capacity gas hot water heater, this home combines modern upgrades with historic allure. The spacious basement provides plenty of room for storage or a workshop, making this a versatile investment opportunity as a rental property, B&B, or event venue.
