Built in 1850
Just imagine strolling down the street on a crisp autumn day with leaves falling in the midst of spooky season and coming across this Italianate beast! It’s nearly 175 years old. The exterior aesthetic oozes mystery. And the interior has just the right amount of dilapidation, with plenty of spooky wood paneling and stained glass that pops.
Here’s the realtor’s description.
