The massive landing leading to the 2nd floor is enveloped in natural light warmly spilling through the incredible array of stained glass windows. The front portion of the home is book-ended by a circular facade on one side, and a hexagonal one on the other, offering a storybook feel and dramatic appeal from the curbside. The 2nd floor includes 4 very roomy bedrooms and a shared bath, as well as a convenient office overlooking the front yard. The 3rd floor adds an additional 4 bedrooms for those in the need. As if this all weren't enough, the lower level of the home has been finished off with a Living Room, Kitchen, 2 bedrooms and bath. A great opportunity to subsidize your investment with additional rental income, or space for that special family member or friend that you wish to have near by. Buyer is responsible for verifying acceptable use of lower level living area with city zoning department. This home offers the chance for a new owner to restore it to its former glory with a little love and patience.
