Be the next chapter in the 120+ year history of this beautiful home! Built in 1899 as a single family home, it was later converted to a catholic school (1939-1968). Later this home was used to house disabled adults and most recently it was restored and intended to be used as a bed and breakfast. This home is packed with original fixtures, built ins and orginal fireplaces. Every corner has history and memories. Electrical and plumbing has been brought up to code. This home offers 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 4 levels and piles of living rooms! There have been many updates made to the property while still protecting its beautiful history.

Home sits a large 1 acre lot,  Opportunities  - could be a great single family home - could be amazing airbnb or bed and breakfast - could be a great recovery home for adults with disabilities  - could be a great multi family home. Endless opportunities!
