Offered at $299,900, this extraordinary historic residence, built in 1911 and known as the “Gordon House,” presents a rare opportunity to own a true architectural gem. Occupying nearly an entire block and spanning approximately 2 acres, this unique property offers character, space, and flexibility rarely found.With access from three different streets, the property includes the main residence, approximately 2 acres of established grounds, a detached garage, and a charming 1 bedroom, 1 bath cottage (square footage to be verified), ideal for guests, rental income, or extended living. The grounds feature multiple fountains, private entertaining areas, and a secluded rear patio, all hinting at what was once a stunning garden and could be again. The main home showcases timeless craftsmanship, including a large covered front porch with three sets of French doors, coffered ceilings, original hardwood floors (believed to be original), built-ins, and five fireplaces. Spacious bedrooms offer both scale and elegance, while the expansive kitchen provides ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and dual sink areas. The formal dining room is a standout, featuring custom cabinetry, stained glass windows, and a built-in china cabinet with matching stained glass detail. The seller will consider trade-in or exchange scenarios, as well as creative financing options, with terms subject to approval and purchase price. This is more than a home—it’s a rare historic property with endless potential. Photos do not fully capture its character and presence. Schedule your private showing today.
