Property Description
Originally built in 1920, this unique property began life as a neighborhood saloon before becoming a residence over the years. Offering approximately 3615 square feet, this property features a 3-bedroom layout with 1 1/2 bathrooms in its current configuration, with the potential to create additional flexible living spaces. The upstairs bathroom will make the primary bedroom a suite. The layout provides endless possibilities for a large single-family home, multi-generational living, or other uses permitted by local zoning R2. Major improvements include a newer rubber roof and some updated plumbing The home does need updating, particularly in the bathrooms and damage to ceilings from previous leaks, making it an excellent choice for investors, restoration enthusiasts, or buyers looking to build equity through renovation. Original details from the building's early days still remain, adding charm and character that simply can't be recreated in newer construction. Whether you appreciate historic architecture or enjoy bringing older homes back to life, you'll find plenty of inspiration here! This is not a move-in-ready home, but it is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive historic property with tremendous upside. A cash buyer is preferred. Bring your vision and transform this one-of-a-kind building into something extraordinary!
