Step back in time and experience one of Belfast's most beloved and iconic homes, instantly recognized by its enchanting turret that has graced the neighborhood skyline for generations. This turn of the century Victorian stands as a testament to craftsmanship and character, where stunning millwork, elegant moldings, stained glass windows, and rich wood trim frame the halls, doorways, and rooms with timeless detail. While history echoes through every corner, modern comforts have been thoughtfully added for today's lifestyles. An oversized, attached two car garage, updated electrical and plumbing systems, and recent improvements, including newer roof shingles, fresh exterior paint, and kitchen cabinetry on first floor, allow this home to balance nostalgia with convenience. Versatility is woven into its story, as for decades, the property was cherished as a single-family home, yet in more recent years it has also offered flexibility with an apartment on the third floor and an additional second-floor unit. These spaces can be retained for income or multi-generational living, or seamlessly restored to create a three story masterpiece that recalls its original grandeur, simply by opening a few doors. Throughout the home, original wood floors remain preserved, many safeguarded beneath protective carpeting, waiting to be revealed and admired once again. Set in the heart of Belfast, just a short stroll from the waterfront, harbor, and vibrant downtown, this residence offers the rare chance to own not only a piece of architectural history but also a piece of the community's heart. A full pre-listing Home Inspection is available for review by serious buyers, affirming the excellent condition and stewardship this home has enjoyed. This is more than a home, it's a story, a landmark, and an invitation to write the next chapter in one of Belfast's most treasured Victorians. Shown by appointment only.
