225-227 W J Street

The charming historic Victorian Italianate residence, The Colby House'', is believed to be one of the city's earliest homes. Meticulously restored, the home & its grounds have preserved their original charm while integrating modern updates. Situated just a block away from downtown's main street, with its rich history, shops, eateries, and waterfront. The main house features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, several bonus spaces, and some water view, making it a unique find & a must see! The original hardwood floors have been restored, & the updated kitchen highlights stainless steel appliances. A convenient half bath is on the main floor, while the full bathroom includes a claw-foot tub and a walk-in shower. The laundry room is conveniently located on the 2nd floor near the bedrooms. The attic provides extra space suitable for storage, a craft room, or an office. The manicured yards lead to a secluded courtyard and the entrance to a separate unit with its own address and electric meter. The updated 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit comprises a kitchen & in-unit laundry, ideal for an in-law suite. The rear courtyard connects to an alleyway uniquely paved with bricks from the original foundation, creating a tranquil retreat for relaxation. Perfect opportunity for downtown living!
