Historic 1872 Home – Rehab Opportunity or Redevelopment Potential
Built in 1872, this historic property offers a rare opportunity for restoration or redevelopment in a prime location. The existing home is in need of serious rehab and is being sold AS-IS. For investors or developers, the lot also holds potential for a duplex or multifamily build after removal of the current structure (verify with local zoning). The main level features two large rooms that could be converted into bedrooms, and the property includes a detached summer kitchen in the backyard—ideal for extra storage. The home does not currently have a central AC unit and would require installation. The previous owner is unsure if the boiler for the radiant heat system is still functional. There are also two cisterns and a well on the property, none of which are currently in use.
Please note: Only serious inquiries will be considered.
