This stately Victorian offers a compelling opportunity for investors or developers looking to complete and capitalize on a thoughtfully reconfigured multi-family project. Rich with original craftsmanship, the home still showcases the hallmarks of its era: tall ceilings, detailed woodwork, built-ins, and an overall sense of scale and presence that newer construction rarely replicates. A wraparound front porch further enhances its architectural appeal and curb presence. Formerly configured as four units, the property has since been approved and partially converted into a six-unit apartment building. The proposed layout includes a three-bedroom unit, a two-bedroom unit, and four one-bedroom units, creating a balanced mix well suited to the local rental market. Once completed, the projected gross monthly income is estimated between $7,500 and $8,000, making this an attractive option for those seeking long-term passive income. Significant structural improvements have already been completed, and the interior has been taken back to the studs, providing a clean slate for the next phase of work. Updated mechanicals are underway, including a high-efficiency propane heating and hot water system designed to serve the building efficiently. Electrical infrastructure is in place to support individual metering for each unit, along with a common meter. Situated on a corner lot, the property benefits from more parking than typically expected for a building of this vintage. With the heavy lifting already done, what remains is finishing the mechanicals, closing the building back up, and bringing the units online. For the right buyer, this is a rare chance to complete a classic Victorian conversion and turn it into a strong-performing income property.

Built in 1956, it retains many of its original features, including the period kitchen and bathroom fixtures, vintage-colored plastic tile, hardwood floors, and distinctive wide moldings. The home has received a thoughtful facelift over the past couple of years so things are fresh and bright. The exterior has also been freshly painted. The result is a spacious home that feels fresh and cared for while preserving its authentic mid-century personality. The main level offers a comfortable and practical Cape-style layout, entering from the spacious and bright fireplaced living room with gleaming hardwood floors into the convenient U-shaped kitchen and adjoining sunny dining room. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the first floor. Upstairs, the large primary bedroom with built-ins and second full bathroom create a private retreat. A large, partially finished sadjoining space offers potential for a fourth bedroom, home office, studio, or hobby space. The full basement adds more space, including a large recreation room, laundry area, and one-car garage. The home sits on a 0.26-acre lot on a peaceful, quiet street, offering a pleasant residential setting in a great walkable neighborhood. A covered patio at the back of the house provides a comfortable spot to relax. The "Hill" location is exceptionally convenient.

For buyers looking for addition outdoor space or parking, a ½-acre +/- lot directly across the street with a shed, is available for an additional $15,000. The lot is currently being subdivided from a larger parcel, so transfer of the additional lot may occur after the sale of the main house.
