From the moment you enter the grand entrance hall, to the ornate moldings, thirteen step moldings, and eight fireplaces, “you know it when you see it” with this extraordinarily beautiful colonial. The original portion of the home was built in 1790, with a significant addition being done circa 1840. Awesome potential. Even the basement is original brick and stone. Bring your dreams. Great bonus opportunity for home/professional office/retail/cafe in two unique spaces. If you really wanted to maximize income, the house might be split into three or possibly four units?
