Steeped in Fall River history, this grand property at 216 Prospect St was once owned by Charlie Buffinton, the first famous professional baseball player to emerge from Fall River. Rich with character and potential, the home is currently configured as a four-family residence but offers a unique opportunity to be restored to an impressive single-family estate. The first-floor unit showcases many original architectural details and would serve as an owner's residence. Offering approximately 1,800 square feet of living space, this unit features a spacious kitchen, formal dining room, elegant living room w/beautiful leaded glass details, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. Situated on a corner lot, the exterior features a detached two-car garage, ample off-street parking, and space to create a future patio or outdoor entertaining area. Whether you're seeking a historic home to restore, an owner-occupied multifamily property, or an investment opportunity, this property can be your homerun.
