Architectural grandeur meets historic prestige in this magnificent 1840 Greek Revival, a Searles-crafted masterpiece of two homes on-site, offering 3,500 sq ft of refined living. Sunlight cascades through the dramatic 9ft arched windows in the living room, illuminating pristine original maple floors and sophisticated wainscoting. The wood mantel frames a fireplace poised for restoration, promising cozy gatherings in this distinguished residence. Seven bedrooms span 3 levels, including 2 convenient first-floor chambers. The second floor presents a self-contained apartment with kitchen and bath, while the connected third floor reveals additional bedrooms and a charming reading nook. Original pine floors upstairs speak to the home's authentic character. Currently configured as a single residence while maintaining legal two-family status. Close to schools and downtown, this artfully balances history with modern potential. Private showings available for qualified buyers.
