Theodore Roosevelt was still President when 665 12th street was designed and constructed, as it happens, by the same architect as the Hotel Boulderado, A jaw dropping 1908 beauty, it features a wrap-around front porch, classic historic built-ins and period details, and a swimming pool – all within strolling distance to Chautauqua park. For nearly twenty years, it was also owned by actor and director Peter Goldfarb.
At a gain of $3.35MM over the seller’s ownership period, it appreciated at a rate of about 8.2% excluding any improvements. That’s why the smart money often focuses on historic properties.
Pictures and Details
Historic homes may never gone out of style but they can be challenging to price and sell. Wishful thinking remains a poor marketing strategy. Deep market knowledge is the key to accurate pricing.
