Step back in time with this classic Victorian, where timeless architectural details meet an incredible opportunity to restore it to its former glory. A charming wrap-around front porch leads you through French doors into a grand foyer, highlighted by a sweeping curved staircase. From there, you'll find a gracious front parlor and living room with fireplace framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. The formal dining room, with its built-in China cabinet, opens into a dream-worthy butler's pantry complete with sink, counters, and abundant cupboards, seamlessly connecting to a spacious kitchen. This unique kitchen is a true blank canvas—featuring an oversized gathering space, dining area, and private stairway to the upper level. Upstairs, the primary en-suite is complemented by three additional bedrooms and a second full bath, while the attic provides endless potential. Each room has its own character, with large windows flooding the spaces with natural light. Period details, original woodwork and vintage charm abound, including preserved wallpaper sure to spark design inspiration. Outside, the carriage house offers another exciting opportunity to reimagine. This Heritage Hill treasure is brimming with history, character, and possibility. Close to the Wealthy Street business district in Uptown, Cherry Street & Downtown. Don't miss your chance to make this Diamond in the rough your own and schedule your private showing today!
