This spacious home offers a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath apartment on the first and second floors and a 2-bedroom 1-bath apartment on the third floor. A covered front porch leads to the welcoming foyer of this charming Victorian, where you're greeted by soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, an ornate banister and an original decorative fireplace. To the right, the spacious living room features bay windows and a decorative fireplace, filling the space with natural light and character. Straight ahead, a flexible family room offers the option to serve as a first-floor bedroom, complete with an adjoining full bath—ideal for guests. A convenient half bath is located off the main hallway. The updated galley kitchen offers modern functionality and leads to the rear entrance and a large storage area.
