. This Grand Lady was Built in 1877 and showcases 2,950 square feet on the first two levels, plus an additional 1,450 square feet in the attic. Stunning leaded stained-glass windows, original woodwork, 3 sets of pocket doors and hardwood floors preserve the timeless charm throughout. A graceful open staircase rises from the front parlor to the second floor, with another leading to the spacious attic. The second story includes a large cedar closet perfect for linen storage. Historic built-ins, bay windows, and a former summer kitchen--now used for storage--add to the character and nostalgic appeal of this rare gem. Does she need some restoration? Absolutely. But with her rich history and unbeatable location, this home is truly something special. There will be a public auction of all the contents of the house and garage early September (date to be announced later). Furnace has been converted to hot water natural gas. All measurements and information are not guaranteed. Buyer is responsible for independent verification.
