Set high on one of the neighborhood's historic bluffs, this impressive 1908 American Four Square offers approximately 3,744 square feet of living space and is being offered together with an adjacent separately PIN'd 0.23-acre vacant parcel, creating approximately 0.73 acre of combined land. Designed by noted architect C.W. Webster, the home is filled with architectural character, including beautiful hardwood floors, generous room sizes, built-ins, a grand foyer, library, walk-in pantry and expansive veranda. Remarkably, the owner also has the home's original architectural blueprints, which will convey with the property. The property also features a detached 2-car garage with a separate studio apartment above, currently rented at $1,200/month with the tenant responsible for utilities. This provides $14,400 in annual rental income along with future flexibility for guest quarters, home office or extended living. A large driveway provides abundant additional parking. Sale includes adjacent 0.23-acre residential vacant parcel, with frontage along Woodworth Avenue. SELLER FINANCING AVAILABLE!
