Property Description
Discover the remarkable potential of this grand 9,698 sq. ft. residence. Built in 1880, it offers 8 bedrooms, 8 baths, and an abundance of historic character, ornate woodwork, and impressive scale. A new roof is already in place! A sprinkler leak in the basement damaged the electrical systems and furnace, with light water impacting the main floors, creating a prime opportunity for restoration and customization. Zoned RM, allowing for a range of residential or specialty uses. A large carriage barn in the rear and off-street parking add to the appeal. Come and experience this rare chance to revive a Berkshire architectural treasure and create something extraordinary for the future.
