About this home

Built in 1860, this stunning Italianate Victorian offers something genuinely uncommon in today's market: the flexibility to become whatever the right buyer needs it to be. Whether you're envisioning a grand single-family residence, a luxury owner-occupied duplex, or a three-unit income property, the bones and the scale are here — and the sellers are prepared to work with you. The home itself is a showcase of 19th-century craftsmanship updated for modern living. Soaring ceilings frame a large formal living room and dining room appointed with dentil molding, raised wood paneling, leaded glass, and gleaming hardwood floors. The kitchen has been updated to a state-of-the-art standard with cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. With six to eight bedrooms — including multiple primary suites — and five-and-a-half baths, the layout adapts to single-family comfort or multi-unit configuration with ease. Outside, a three-stall carriage house adds exceptional utility: additional storage, office space, or future income potential. The setting is quietly private despite being minutes from Watertown's hospital district and Fort Drum. Offered as-is or with seller renovations tailored to your intended use — pricing adjusts accordingly. If you've been waiting for a property with history, scale, and genuine upside, this is the one worth seeing in person.
