A truly rare find. Beautiful architecture, four spacious floors of living space, amazing city skyline view from full width rear decks on one of the finest streets in historic Deutschtown. Underwent complete renovation 30 years ago, gutted to studs, converted to two large two story apartments with nine foot ceilings and historic detailing. Could be restored to large single family. Mansard roof and dormers were historically restored in 2006 with fine craftsmanship in rot resistant wood with lead coated copper flashing for long life. The building structure is solid. The rear wood decks, not original to the building, are in need of replacement or repair affording the opportunity to add something more creative. Take in nearby NOVA Place and thriving neighborhood business district with many new dining choices and specialty shops. River trails for outdoor recreation. A farmers market on Fridays in the warm months in neighborhood's city park. Downtown's cultural district just across the river
