About this House

MASSIVE PRICE IMPROVEMENT: REDUCED NEARLY $100K FOR IMMEDIATE SALE. Locally known as the Withington Mansion, this 1887 Victorian landmark offers 4,603 sq. ft. of massive value-add potential at an unbeatable entry price. Ideal for an experienced investor or seasoned flipper looking for a high-equity passion project, the high-cost preliminary work is already out of the way. Recent updates include a brand-new house roof, extensive demo/cleanout, new purchased windows ready for installation, and a fully refreshed detached garage featuring a new roof, doors, paint, and a rear wrought-iron fence. Step into the grand foyer and main level featuring formal living and dining rooms, then scale up to the expansive third-floor attic ready for custom buildout. Major historic restorations in this neighborhood command top dollar—bring your vision, crew, and finish out a piece of local history. Detailed list of completed work and scope of work available upon request.
