Property details
About 8 Academy St
Investors take note! The historic Samuel Wadsworth House sits gracefully on Wooster Square Park. A legal four-family home is currently configured as a three-family residence. The main house was once configured as two units and there are 2 units in the rear, a studio on the lower level and a 1 bedroom on the upper floor. The utilities are separate (electric and gas) and there are 3 heating/hot water systems (the main house heating system is currently combined for the 3 floors. The main house boasts substantial living space on three floors, with generously sized living, dining, and family room and multiple rooms on the second and third floors that can easily be converted back to an apartment. Hardwood floors throughout and large windows overlook the park, beautiful yard and gardens. Currently 2 cars can park in tandem in the driveway on the left side of the house. The driveway can be widened some to more easily accommodate 2 cars but posts and fence must remain as is. Note the units need updating but a good investment nonetheless.
