    What's special

    Stunning, secluded and dramatic Victorian style home with a Mansard style roof and private garden. Few of these properties exist on College Hill. Circa. 1864, this home is just steps off Benefit Street proper, down a cobblestone path. Once known as the Elizabeth Helme House after the first resident, it resides in a local Historic District and is eligible to become a Plaque House with a few historic corrections. This elegant Victorian features over 2800, sq. ft. of interior living space (with a near finished basement of 800 sq. ft.) on an over-sized lot of 6100 sq. ft. that includes a newly landscaped patio. Plus parking for up to 6 vehicles. All mechanical systems have been updated and the home is just waiting for someone to put their personal stamp on it by bringing the fully functional kitchen up to modern, gourmet standards. The second floor features 4 bedrooms and full bath with opportunity to renovate into a stunning master suite space. Very adorable potential in-law suite in the finished basement which includes another full bathroom and laundry room. If location is important to you, then this private Victorian on Benefit may very well be the best location in town.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
