Picture a house that once dreamt of being a mighty castle but, after a few decades- or maybe a few well-intentioned contractors- it became of a medieval fixer-upper. What an unique opportunity- definitely not another one like it. A full wall brick fireplace, & a two story vaulted turret/tower area lets sunlight through arched windows of the living room. Built by hand by Mr. Tubbs in 1928. The home was featured in a Rochester paper in 1991 for its uniqueness. The home had the interest of the Landmark Society in 1994 for its distinct qualities. Rumor has it that the trap door in the kitchen was possibly a hiding spot during the prohibition. Boiler was reconditioned and a new flue pipe added to the chimney to bring up to current code. Home sold in "as is" condition. The gutting and dumpster filling has been done for you. Now it's time for the fun part- creating a palace where you can actually be King/Queen of the castle! All materials on site will be sold with the home. Delayed negotiations for Tuesday, 9/3 at noon.
