Description
Tucked away on a secluded stretch of Custer Street, just blocks from the shopping, dining, and train access along Dempster Street and Main Street, Lee Street Beach, and only half a block west of Nichols Middle School, this distinctive 1879 Luxembourg farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. The property features two separate two-bedroom, one-bathroom units, a detached two-car garage, storage shed, fully fenced private yard, and additional off-street parking. Many of the home's original architectural details remain intact, offering a glimpse into its historic character and charm. With vision and renovation, this unique property presents the opportunity to restore it to its former splendor as a single-family home, or retain it as a long-term, multi-unit investment. A rare blend of historic character, versatile potential, and a desirable location makes this property an exceptional opportunity for homeowners, investors, and preservation enthusiasts alike.
