There are two separate office areas, each offering four exam rooms, a reception area, and a nurses' station. The existing setup could work well for another medical or professional use or could be reimagined to fit an entirely different business. At the heart of the property is the original 1895 home, where you'll still find beautiful details from years past, including the original staircase welcoming you into the foyer and the original living room fireplace. A large upstairs landing and spacious bedrooms add to the character and feel of the original home. Over the years, additions expanded the property considerably, creating a truly impressive amount of usable space. The property also features a private outdoor space between the buildings and two four-car garages, adding even more usable space, parking, and storage.
