    What's special

    Corner propertyExterior shingled apron
    Circa 1886, according to old insurance records that are available in the attachments to the listing. Historic duplex in the heart of the East End Historical District. The property is in need of substantial renovation. The bottom unit has the address of 1626 Church and the upstairs unit has the address of 1628 Church. There is a separate front entrance to both units and in the foyer of the upstairs unit is a door to the downstairs unit. The floor plan is the same for both units. The interior staircase appears to be original. There is an interesting exterior shingled apron around the bottom of the second floor around the outside of most of the house. Fully fenced, this is a corner property. There are WPI-8 windstorm certificates in the attachments to the listing along with the elevation certificate.
