    What's special

    Unlock a rare opportunity with the Couillard House, a historic 1912 Channing landmark offering an expansive 4,100 sq ft of living space. Situated on a significant .43-acre corner lot, this 3-story, 12-bedroom, 2.5-bath property is brimming with character and potential. Originally serving as a bustling rooming house from 1912 through the mid-1950s for railroad and transient workers during Channing's vibrant growth period, this property is steeped in local history. You'll find charming original details throughout, from ornate doorknobs to classic hardwood floors and a large enclosed sunporch complete with a working original doorbell – a true nod to its past. The possibilities here are as vast as the home itself, offering a flexible canvas as a grand family residence with unparalleled space for multi-generational living, or capitalize on its unique history and layout to create a sought-after inn, or establish a community space, artist retreat, or boutique lodging. Beyond its historical appeal, the property features a spacious 2-car garage and the practical advantage of a newer roof with ice shields. With its undeniable curb appeal and rich past, Couillard House is more than just a building; it's an incredible space ready for its next venture.
