Property Description

Circa 1879 two story Victorian famous for being in the 1900 Hurricane aftermath photo of the three surviving houses in this area. (Copy of photo in attachments) The house for many decades has been a triplex and for the last 20 years as a single family home with convenient kitchens (coffee bars) upstairs. House does need updating and an extensive inspection report is available. Beautiful Greek Revival woodwork, tall baseboards, chair rails and/or wainscoting throughout the house. There is an upstairs back deck and back exterior staircase to access the upstairs units if a subsequent buyer wanted to put the units back into long term or short term rentals. Located in the East End Historical District on one of the most well maintained blocks in the neighborhood. It is an Estate selling, but everything has been settled. There is a pre-listing inspection report available for review.
