Description

In a vibrant, character-rich neighborhood stands a graceful, historic building completed in 1901—a piece of living history that has aged with dignity and purpose. Its exterior features ornate woodwork, tall windows, oversized columns and a wrap-around veranda. Its presence invites you to imagine a different pace of life from another century. Inside, the building has been thoughtfully adapted into 10 unique rental units. High ceilings—some reaching 11 feet—create a sense of grandeur rarely found in modern construction. Original hardwood floors, restored to a rich glow, carry the subtle creak of time. Decorative moldings and antique fireplaces give each unit a distinct personality, balancing historic charm with livable comfort. Over the years, careful stewardship has preserved its character while integrating modern necessities—updated plumbing, electrical, and modern heating systems tucked away without disturbing the architecture. Kitchens and bathrooms are modern and functional. Financially, the building is as solid as its foundation. With nine units generating a combined monthly rental income of approximately $18,000, it stands as a testament to the enduring value of well-located, character-rich properties. Tenants are drawn not just to the space itself, but to the feeling of living within history—something no new development can quite replicate. Surrounded by mature trees and within walking distance of local shops, cafés, and parks, the building occupies that rare intersection of heritage and practicality: a place where past and present coexist, quietly and beautifully.
