This traditional Victorian shows the straightforward lines of a working-class Victorian rather than an ornamental one—tall proportions, narrow façade, and a roofline that steps with the grade. Its position on the lot gives the front rooms direct exposure to the river, while the rear of the house sits closer to the hillside, creating a sheltered feel.Inside, the layout is practical and efficient. Rooms are scaled for the period—modest but well-defined—with original framing geometry still evident. Large windows on the river-facing side bring in consistent natural light and make the view a central feature rather than an afterthought. The partially finished basement adds usable square footage without altering the home’s historic form.
