With **five bedrooms and three bathrooms**, the property immediately attracts attention because of the amount of living space it potentially offers for the money.

It is about what that square footage represents.
A five-bedroom historic residence can provide room for a large family, visiting relatives, overnight guests, home offices, creative spaces, hobby rooms, libraries, or studios. Depending on the home’s existing layout and condition, some rooms could potentially be adapted over time to meet the needs of a modern household while preserving the architectural character that makes the property distinctive.
And then there is the brick.
