This historic Victorian home in Sherman Hill has huge potential. Built in 1885 with over 3,000 sf of living space on a double lot, this home has 7 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, fireplace, beautiful staircases, tall ceilings, stained glass windows, and hardwood floors under the carpet. It has cherry, oak, and pine trim with original pocket doors and hardware. An image of the ancient Celtic symbol, Green Man, representing spring's renewal and growth, is carved into the original front doors. A nature theme continues throughout the home. With the wrap around porch restored, a few non-original walls removed, and additional updates, this home could be awesome. Tax credit, tax abatement and NFC grant eligibility can help defray much of the renovation and restoration costs. Call to schedule a showing and check out this home.
