This magnificent 17 room Victorian was built in the early 1880's by master craftsmen from the surrounding region.  It was occupied  as a single family dwelling until the end of WWII when the second floor was handsomely converted into three, three room apartments.  Each apartment is separately metered for electric and  gas service.  The house  is  owner occupied on the first floor and has been since 1975.  This house offers splendid opportunity for both single-family ownership and occupancy as well as investment.  I  raised my family of four children in this house and, because of it's layout and size, we never sacrificed the privacy of a single family dwelling while at the same time, enjoyed the benefit of the added income to assist with the mortgage.  Now that we are selling, the same "best of  both worlds" can be enjoyed by the next owner if he/she so chooses.  The three apartments have been well-maintained and are in excellent condition.  They currently generate $1670.00 income per month.

The living area downstairs  offers 2392 square feet of living space.  This is a rather unique house.  The front door opens into a large 12x15 foyer.  As can be seen by the pictures, the house  boasts much of it's original natural woodwork and  styling.  Entering the first floor, one finds  an incredible 19x35 foot  Living Room/Library, with another 15x19 foot Dining Room adjacent to that via  in-good-working-condition pocket doors.  The blue-tiled fireplace is a working fireplace and is used annually for the beautiful aesthetics it provides.  There are  three bedrooms: 20x12, 16x12 and 13x14 feet.  The large 24x11 foot  eat-in kitchen is newly remodeled with custom hand-made bisquited-only solid wood  cabinets and cupboards, Italian porcelain tile flooring, granite countertops, and a working antique combination natural gas and coal stove.  Two full bathrooms and a 9x9 foot laundry room round out the living space.   Off the dining area of the kitchen  through original French patio doors, or through another entrance  door off the laundry room on the other side of the house, you walk out onto the huge decking which abuts and surrounds the swimming pool.        

 Prime location in excellent Port Jervis neighborhood with above-average owner-occupied homes.  Off-street parking in side of yard.  Walking distance to schools, business center, recreation  and mass transit to NYC.   Adjacent to the backyard is a city park and across the street is a school playground open to the neighborhood children.  An outstanding opportunity for someone looking for an outstanding home.
