Victorian Charm Meets Endless Possibility Steeped in character and bursting with space, this classic Victorian-style home is unlike anything else on the market. From the moment you step through the grand entryway, soaring ceilings and oversized rooms set the tone for a home that lives as big as it looks — and with major recent updates already done, it's truly move-in ready. The big-ticket items are taken care of. A new HVAC system keeps you comfortable year-round, updated appliances bring a fresh modern touch to the kitchen, and a stunning clay tile roof crowns it all — a timeless, low-maintenance material that adds serious curb appeal while protecting the home for decades to come. The main level is made for living. A spacious living room flows into a generous formal dining room and sitting area, while the massive kitchen — featuring double counters and abundant cabinetry — delivers real function without sacrificing style. Main-level laundry and a full bath round out the convenience. Upstairs, three large bedrooms and two full baths provide comfortable living for the whole family. On the top floor, a converted open-plan bonus room offers the flexibility to serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, creative studio, or playroom. The newly finished basement adds even more usable square footage — perfect as a rec room, play area, or additional storage. Here's where it gets interesting. Set apart from the main house on a sprawling half-acre lot sits a fully equipped detached building that opens the door to real opportunity. With its own two bedrooms, kitchen, full bath, and living area, it has functioned as an antique shop, a workshop, and most recently an in-law suite. This property carries dual residential/office zoning — a genuinely rare designation that gives you options most homeowners never have. House extended family in comfort, launch or revive a business, run a professional office or home-based operation, or create the ultimate private guest retreat. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an investor, or simply someone who wants more from their property, this is the flexibility you've been looking for. Conveniently located near Route 40 and less than 5 minutes from I-95 — all the access you need, with all the space you want. Live it. Work it. Build on it.

Victorian Charm Meets Endless Possibility Steeped in character and brimming with space, this classic Victorian-style home is unlike anything else on the market. From the moment you step through the grand entryway, soaring high ceilings and oversized rooms set the tone for a home that lives as big as it looks — and major recent updates mean it's move-in ready from the moment you arrive.

A updated HVAC system keeps you comfortable year-round, updated appliances bring a fresh modern touch to the kitchen, and the stunning clay tile roof crowns it all — a classic, low-maintenance material that adds instant curb appeal while protecting the home for decades to come. The first floor is made for living. A spacious living room flows into a generous formal dining room and sitting area, while the massive kitchen — featuring double counters and cabinets for days — delivers serious function without sacrificing style. Main-level laundry and a full bath round out the convenience of this floor. Head upstairs to find three large bedrooms and two more full baths. On the top floor, a converted open-plan bonus room offers the flexibility to serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, creative studio, or playroom — the choice is yours. The newly finished basement adds even more usable square footage — perfect as a rec room, play area, or extra storage. Set apart from the main house on this sprawling half-acre lot sits a versatile detached building — and this is where the real possibilities begin. Complete with two bedrooms, a kitchen, full bath, and living area, it has served as an antique shop, a workshop, and most recently an in-law suite that has been rented out for $1500 a month (currently vacant). With dual residential and commercial zoning, you can bring the in-laws home, launch or revive a business, run a home-based operation, or create the ultimate guest retreat. The flexibility here is genuinely rare. Conveniently located near Route 40 and less than 5 minutes from I-95 — all the access you need with all the space you want. Live it. Work it.

Residential-Office, 5.5 Dwelling Units Per Acre Zone
The R-O zoning classification is established, pursuant to the findings stated above, to accommodate houses converted to office buildings and some small Class B office buildings in predominantly residential areas on sites that, because of adjacent commercial activity, heavy commercial traffic or other similar factors, can no longer reasonably be restricted solely to uses allowable in moderate-density residential zones. It is intended that buildings and uses in R-O Zones shall not intrude upon or disturb present or prospective uses of nearby residential property. It is not the R-O classification's purpose to accommodate a substantial part of the demand for office space, it being the intent of these zoning regulations that office space demand should be met primarily in C.T. Districts, C.C.C. Districts and, to a lesser extent, in other commercial areas.
