All offers considered. Stunning victorian treasure in the wonderful historical district. Built in 1886 the "charles young house" features 17 rooms, a fireplace, 12' ceilings on the 1st floor, 4 baths, 3 kitchens, a balcony, full basement with 2 washers, 2 dryers and a 1/2 bath, 3 car garage, 76 x 171 corner lot and much more. Utilized as hotel for a time by employees of the rock island railroad. 5 bedrooms on the 3rd floor, 2 on the 2nd floor, 3 on the 1st floor. 3 furnaces(1st floor is new). Newer roof. Currently vacant. Needs renovation but has incredible potential. A very special property. Currently zoned "single family" but approval for 2 units is a distinct probability.
