The Joseph Fabian House was designed by architect James L. Wills in 1907 in the Free Classic style, with prominent columns, a deep full-width front porch, and masonry quoins of ashlar block adorning the corners. The interior is an eclectic mix of the fading Victorian period and the dawn of the coming styles of the 20th century. In the foyer, classic -20th century cornices blend with Victorian finish carpentry, and the fire place mantel - flanked with closet-like French-door built-ins - is a nod to several architectural styles with 19th century detailing, notes of the Arts and Crafts movement, and curvature that seemingly suggests like a prophet the coming Art Moderne movement. A veritable beveled glass museum - like a Romance novel pirate ship - the home sits on the corner of Cherry and Third Streets, just one block from the coming medical school campus. The home's massing is particularly incredible, as the form of a one and a half story home boasts a sheer size that dominates the block and appears over-bearing in comparison to the 6-flat next door. A stunning opportunity to renovate as an owner-occupied rental, an upper story conversion to one large flat and the multi-styled gem on the main level, a mixed-use opportunity of new proportions, a brick 3-unit income property to newly grace your portfolio, or a smashing return to its original single-family glory - you decide. A thorough project to be finished indeed, this jewel on the crown of Third Street is not one to let the sun set on. Call for details and a tour today.
