This gorgeous & rare 19th Century 2nd Empire home w/ baroque brickwork & classic Mansard slate roof represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity for a visionary buyer. Though they should bring tape measures, contractors, & plenty of imagination. Built in 1876, the interior features regal ceiling height, tall windows, & original cornice & molding. Its hilltop disposition invites views from all 4 sides & golden Southwestern sunlight pours into the living & dining rooms. Upstairs, 4th bedroom offers some versatility for future designs. The basement has high ceilings & walk-out access. The barn, w/ two stories & shored up walls, has potential to be an accessory dwelling unit, studio, or workspace, though buyers must do their due diligence on its usage. Its premier location in Central JP is less than 1/3 mile from Centre St, under 1/2 mile from Jamaica Pond, Green St & Stonybrook T Stations, & the Southwest Corridor Path. Plenty of parking, but who needs a car when everything is so close by!
