Property Description
One of the grandest properties in the City, with 11' ceilings, most gracious rooms, pristine condition, and plentiful landscaped grounds (47.5'x170' lot). This important Second Empire Italianate Villa is just Majestic. Built by the Clarks (of Clark Park fame), it offers astounding character throughout. On a beautiful Spruce Hill block lined with towering, mature trees, the 6,000 square foot Clark House offers so many options for how to use the space. It is currently run as 5 extended-stay apartments plus a beautiful owner's residence. All of the units are corner units! You could continue with the current business (or expand it to a lucrative Airbnb model--it is the perfect set-up) or use as a multi-unit. Enjoy as an owner occupant and as an investor. The owner's unit is a spacious 1 bedroom plus den and finished lower level with spectacular finishes and outdoor space. Use as-is or expand it to create a larger personal residence in the Penn Alexander School CATCHMENT. And rent the remainder. Of course this property could be a glorious mansion as well. Use as is or create different spaces to fit your personal living and investment needs. Come and see what works for you. Of course, you will want to leave the amazing details intact. Original floors, moldings, and trim throughout. And in the owner's space, common hallways, and exterior, just a special level of character. Also, a pride of ownership you will not find anywhere. These owners have worked with the finest, most experienced contractors and craftsmen over the years to continually maintain, update, and improve this true trophy property. High Velocity Central Air.
