About this home

Stately and Massive best describe this very Rare and Historic Colonial Revival Triple Decker. Premium street and location near Union Square. Each unit has over 1600 sf with well proportioned rooms, large kitchen with pantry, oversized hallways and great ceiling height. All original details remain. An exquisite exterior with period detail, front and rear porches, natural woodwork, built-in china cabinets, fir flooring, stained glass and lots of oversized windows characterize the era in which it was constructed. Two separate driveways, one of which leads to the original 2 story carriage house and an additional three driveway spots. Another enormous shed is attached to the carriage house. Both structures offer lots of potential for future use. All utilities are separated and all heating (forced hot air) and water systems are gas. "Public" meters have been installed to cover the common area expenses, including laundry. Options exist for the next owner. This is a very special property!
