12 School St

A historic two-story multi-family residence dating to 1860, the property presents as a converted traditional New England house with multiple distinct dwelling units. The layout typically includes multi-bedroom units—some configured as owner-occupied two-level residences and rental apartments—with original-period details such as wide pine and hardwood floors, fireplaces with antique mantels, crown molding, and high ceilings complemented by later renovations. Kitchens have been modernized in many units with stone or granite counters and upgraded cabinetry; bathrooms range from fully remodeled showers to traditional tub/shower combinations. Shared elements and storage include basement space, floored/heatable attics and walk-up access for potential expansion. Exterior features emphasize a landscaped, garden-oriented lot with a porch or wraparound farmers porch, enclosed patios, paved driveway and off-street or deeded parking; stone walls, rain gutters and a rabbit run add to the yard character. Systems have been selectively updated across units—replacement windows, vinyl siding on some facades, newer hot water heaters and kitchen/bath upgrades—while a few units retain handyman-condition opportunities. The building functions as both an owner-occupied home and income property, with low- to moderate HOA-style arrangements in some condominium conversions and pet restrictions that typically permit cats and limit dogs. Located within walking distance of downtown amenities and transit, the property suits buyers seeking a blend of historic character, rental flexibility and outdoor garden space in a small-town context.
