Property Description
Handsome fieldstone Italienate Single on nearly 1 acre lot! Live like wealthy merchants of olde in splendid style! This mid-1800's grand home enjoys a football-field size back yard that runs from street to street, suitable for sub-division into two mere large lots, if desired. The property's attractive front features original detailed ironwork fencing, mature landscaping and abundant off-street parking. Inside, the present owners used it as a convent, shifting the Kitchen to the basement in order to provide ample living & sleeping quarters for the occupants. An elevator was installed prior to their purchase, which will need mechanical work to operate. The systems all appear to be in good functioning order, as the heat source was changed from oil to gas (tanks remain underground), and AC units were built into several of the upstairs rooms. A steep stairwell leads to the original cupola, a signature mark of the Italienate style of construction, like those found in West Central Germantown and in New Orleans' historic Garden District. Although much of the home's original integrity remains intact, the new owner will likely alter the way in which some of the rooms function. This property represents an opportunity to purchase a quality 150 year old home and, at this price, provide the Buyer with the resources to affordably customize it for their use. Call today and see if your royal subjects are the right fit for this castle!
