Currently configured as office space, this one-of-a-kind property beautifully preserves its original character, featuring stunning woodwork, stained glass, intricate built-ins, French doors, a grand staircase, and detailed trim and molding throughout.

The main level also features a formal dining and living room with abundant natural light, built-ins, and a decorative fireplace, plus a cozy den. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, a full bath, and a charming enclosed sunroom. The semi-finished lower level offers additional office space, a crafts room, and ample storage. Outside, a detached two-car garage, greenhouse, and generous parking add to the appeal. High density zoning possibility of adding 12 units. The separate deeded lot presents endless possibilities, ideal for gardens, entertaining, or potential development.
