122 Hope Street

"Rich folks live on Power, but most of us live off Hope" ~ excerpted from the iconic cartoon designed by John Peck (1978).

Located at the corner of Power and Hope Streets, this signature 6-unit Victorian Mansard home is available for the first time in almost 50 years. The Underwood-Hale Durfee House ca. 1823 has been beautifully restored and impeccably maintained by its current owner/resident. Period details abound: multiple stained glass windows, lovely millwork and built-ins, pocket doors and a towering belvedere served by an internal stairway. Roofs have been recently replaced, exterior painted, updated mechanicals, A/C. Carefully landscaped gardens provide a secluded and spacious oasis on an expansive 15,000+ SF lot with 3-car garage plus ample parking. Truly an exceptional opportunity! Please Note: A Conservation Easement protects the open area of the property. Further information is available upon request. (Also: MLS limits data entry to a max of 4 units; the property is a legal 6-unit and currently used as a 5-unit in order to preserve the owner-occupied Homestead Exemption) NOTE: Owner-occupancy in R-1 district allows for short-term rentals yielding a very generous income stream!
