Freshly painted in a historically inspired Victorian yellow with crisp white trim, The Delevan House once again showcases the elegance and architectural charm that made it a standout residence more than a century ago.
The property is configured as a triplex featuring:
Front Upper Apartment: Spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit, beautifully remodeled and move-in ready.
Rear Upper Apartment: Remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit, perfect for immediate rental income.
