This was one of the model homes for the Victorians that were being built in Cass Farms in the late 1800's outfitted with a turret, custom brick laying, and double front door entry. The main floor currently used as an art gallery, has two faux marbled fireplaces and the original oversized pocket doors to attach formal dining room to the parlor. This massive footprint is ready for someone with vision to completely reimagine or bring back to it's original historic glory. There have been multiple inceptions of the layout over the years and most of that has been stripped out and waiting for a new plan. There is a small apartment in the basement and the third floor is a fully functioning unit with kitchen, bathroom, and skylights. The soulful backyard has two walls remaining of the first garage and carriage house. Plenty of room to rebuild or add a parking pad. There will be no showings without an accepted offer. Please do not disturb.
