There is something almost magical when something old is honored, respected and at the same time made new again. Prepare to be be dazzled, to be enchanted, to fall in love. This cottage style Queen Anne Victorian built as a single family on or around 1894 appears much as it did nearly 130 years ago. The rooms are formal yet approachable, the ceilings high, the systems updated and the units are the definition of 'move in ready. ' This is the ideal owner occupied multi or single family alternative and in the ideal location. Centrally situated on the peninsula everything is close - from arts and entertainments to world class restaurants and recreation. 1st floor is a 1 bedroom 1 bath unit with a projected rent of $2,500. 2nd & 3rd floor is a 2-3 bedroom, 2 bath unit with a projected rent of $2,950. There is off street parking for 1 car with ability to expand.
