About this home

Inside the home

This late-Victorian brick home is set up as two self-contained units, each with its own kitchen, bathroom, and laundry hookups. The heritage details inside — original cast-iron fireplaces with tiled surrounds, ornate etched-glass vestibule panels, and stained glass bay windows — are genuinely rare and intact. The interior condition is mixed. Both bathrooms have been updated with white shaker vanities and subway tile. The lower-unit kitchen in the rear addition is clean and functional. The upper-unit kitchen is dated oak-and-coil and will need replacing. One bedroom shows floor staining that warrants closer inspection. The porch needs real work — peeling paint and worn wood throughout. The 35-foot detached garage is a standout for a downtown property. New driveway and windows were completed in 2026. The basement is unfinished and currently used for storage. Buyers considering this as an investment or multi-generational setup will find the bones solid, but the exterior needs attention before it deteriorates further.

From the listing

Large, Victorian style character-filled home offering exceptional flexibility for investors or multi-generational families with multiple kitchens and living areas. Centennial vinyl windows just installed (2026) and brand new paved driveway (2026). This classic Victorian beauty features a charming wraparound porch and a striking tower-topped turret that creates unforgettable curb appeal. Currently set up as two separate units, the home can easily function as a spacious single-family residence with over 1,900 sq. ft. above grade, offering 4+1 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The upper floor features a bright, spacious eat-in kitchen, 4 pc bath, comfortable living room, and two good-sized bedrooms. The lower floor offers two bedrooms and one bathroom. The back addition serves as a bedroom but could easily be a family room. Sprawling kitchen with abundant white shaker cabinetry, a living room, den, and another bedroom finish off this floor. High ceilings, thick baseboards, and beautiful woodwork throughout highlight the home’s timeless craftsmanship. Each floor has its own laundry hookups for added convenience. Roof shingles replaced in 2020, high-efficiency forced-air gas furnace, breaker panel and lots of updated wiring. A standout feature is the impressive 35' x 15' garage, accommodating up to four vehicles or easily transforming into the ultimate workshop or hobby space. Centrally located in North Ward, close to schools, shopping, and parks, this property is ideal for an in-law suite setup, a first-time buyer seeking supplemental income, or just a large growing family!
