LOCATION! DOWNTOWN VIEWS! HISTORIC ELEGANCE! And plenty of room to spread out. This historic gem with almost 4,000 square feet is a great opportunity for office space.

This particular property is on a corner and has a side GATED parking area. DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE KOEHLER HOUSE. Four living areas spread across three floors. Downtown views from the wraparound balcony and third floor finished attic.

(Large mud room/pantry/laundry room off kitchen.) Beautiful fireplaces grace both the formal living and dining rooms, with a third in the upstairs living area. The foyer is duplicated on the second floor, with the grand staircase continuing on to the third floor.
