Old House Enthusiasts: Put a New Shine on this Historic Brick Home in Beacon, $550,000

  |  December 15, 2016

Located in Beacon’s historic district two blocks off of Main Street, this c.1881 brick Colonial is on the market and needs some elbow grease.

The property, formerly known as the Teller Estate, is near a group of historic buildings in the Lower Main Street Historic District in the city of Beacon. These buildings were built in the Italianate style, which was all the rage in the 1880s, and this house is built in the same style. While the cracks are certainly showing on this exterior of this home, we can’t help but let our imaginations wander at the potential for a loving restoration at the hands of someone who loves historic buildings. Speaking of which, if you’re thinking B&B, you’ll need a special use permit, but it’s considered commercial/multi-use.

The good news is, you could certainly live here while you’re fixing it up. It also has an in-law suite. And, there’s no shortage of space with 3900 square feet and 13 rooms, which might seem nice, but a big house means lots of work. If the prospect isn’t daunting, investigate further through the listing link below.

Includes .3 acre lot that needs some love, as well.
