Property Description

Step into a rare opportunity to restore a true piece of history in the heart of downtown-this stately Peay family home (1929-1954) sits on nearly an acre of flat, treed grounds and offers grand old-world character with modern potential. Soaring high ceilings and a dramatic foyer set the tone, while the front bedrooms feature 10-foot-tall windows and original early-20th-century glass and elegant fireplaces that exude regal charm. A cozy living room with built-in shelving and its own fireplace leads to an inviting living room, and the expansive dining and kitchen areas are primed for a show-stopping renovation-imagine a custom chef's kitchen, butler's pantry, and sun-drenched entertaining spaces. The lower level, accessed via a side entrance, includes an additional bedroom, full bath, fireplace, and abundant storage, and an attached one-bedroom apartment (previously rented for $800/month) offers rental income or flexible guest quarters. The backyard is a private oasis with mature and fruit trees, a new play set, and a storage shed. Heating is currently by radiators and boiler (no central air), and the home is livable during phased renovations-bring your vision and craftsmanship to revive this elegant historic residence into a spectacular showpiece. Home will only go conventional/cash.
