Property Description
A CHELSEA VICTORIAN WITH TIMELESS CHARACTER & ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES! Step into the elegance of 57 Clark Avenue, a captivating circa-1895 Queen Anne Victorian, historically documented as the George E. Dodge House (MHC #CLS.348). Rich in architectural character and brimming with untapped potential, this remarkable residence offers approximately 2,375 sq. ft. of living space, 5 heated bedrooms, but could potentially have more bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and an extraordinary canvas for restoration and reinvention. From its distinctive turret and ornate two-story porch to its graceful curved walls, intricate woodwork, decorative Chelsea tiled fireplaces with cast-iron fireboxes, and elegant ceiling medallion and chandelier, every detail tells a story of a bygone era. Imagine reviving the existing hardwood flooring, transforming the kitchen into a stunning modern gathering space, and thoughtfully blending contemporary comforts with irreplaceable Victorian craftsmanship. The unfinished basement offers additional possibilities, subject to City approvals. Situated on an approximately 4,500 sq. ft. lot, the property also features an existing curb cut and exciting potential for up to two parking spaces. Complete with oil heating and circuit breakers, this character-filled home invites visionary homeowners, restoration enthusiasts, and investors to explore its possibilities.
