3 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Rare opportunity! This property is located in Montgomery's historic and desirable Cottage Hill neighborhood (though not officially part of the historic district). One of the last Victorian-era structures available for rehab and renovation, this unique home has served as an artist's studio for nearly a quarter of a century. Previously it was employed as a wholesaler's office. So, this home has not served as an actual residence for more than a generation. The design possibilities are endless, especially in the interior. Three distinct rooms with closets can easily be developed into modern bedrooms. Four other rooms have been used as workspace, but you can easily determine which might become a dining room or family room. There are 7 full rooms of varying sizes in all. There no longer a true kitchen space - just a central old-time sink with adjacent walk-in pantry. Ditto no full bath (but a half-bath is available). Six fireplaces (!), but they have not been used in decades and are old-style coal designs. The house's bones are quite remarkable. A previous owner installed drop-ceilings in parts of the house; these could be removed to feature the original tall ceilings. New support structure was added recently to strengthen some of the underside piers (it is a conventional foundation) and a new roof replaced the former in 2021. As this property is not situated in the official historic district, you will have considerable flexibility in carrying out any renovation plans you might conceive (though the area does fall under the city's Smart Code and info is available via the City of Montgomery website. Cottage Hill sits close to the downtown district with wonderful dining options, entertainment and professional baseball! Just 2 blocks from this house is a popular coffee house/tavern that has become a nice gathering place for this special community. Lastly, the adjoining residential lot (about 50'x155') is included at no added value and was recently tax assessed at $30, 000.
