Unique investment opportunity to own this special property with 2 buildings prominently located on high-visibility Main Street Canandaigua NY in the Heart of the Finger Lakes Region! Elevate your business in this exceptionally intact example of late nineteenth century, Italianate-style residential architecture - the jewel of Main Street! Exterior detailing features: a low hipped roof topped with cast iron cresting, two-story projecting bay windows, variegated brickwork, and an ornate cast iron fence. A full-width front porch, covered side porch, and separate patio areas are perfect for outdoor enjoyment in the middle of the city! The MAIN HOUSE is extensively updated and well-maintained, boasting 3,052 sq ft across 4 large rooms, kitchen, and powder room on the first level, plus 4 generously sized rooms, full bath, and laundry on the second level. Soaring ceilings, crown moldings, interior wood shutters, curved staircase in the main foyer, oversized paneled pocket doors, wood-burning stove, and checkerboard floor tile patterns enhance the grandeur throughout.

Each building has newer mechanicals and a permanent back-up generator with abundant private off-street parking. Plenty of storage spaces: many closets, basement, attic, and shed.
