About this home

Enjoy a great location on the grounds with this home that has been in the same family for over 45 years. This charming Victorian is located on a quiet street close to Lincoln Park, the Hall of Philosophy, the Amphitheater and Bestor Plaza making it easy to get to all your favorite Chautauqua activities. A seasonal home with four one-bedroom apartments plus additional living space on the third floor that includes a bathroom. Wonderful, shaded stacked porches add room for dining and relaxing! The four apartments are a great way to have company with everyone having their own space. Gather on the porch in between lectures and other Chautauqua activities. It's also easy to use one apartment and rent the rest. The apartments are all bright and updated. Each apartment has a living room, eat in kitchen, bedroom and private bathroom. They are all set up with the living room at the front of the house facing the porch, kitchen in the middle and bedroom and bathroom at the back of the house. The family uses the third floor living space for overflow guests and office space. The house has a total of five bathrooms. The 1st and 2nd floor west apartments have a Chautauqua closet in the bedroom. The 2nd floor east apartment has a Chautauqua sink in the bedroom. Shared laundry on the main floor. Updates in the last five years have been new flooring in the living rooms and kitchens, new refrigerators, new washer and dryer, exterior and interior painting. The porch has a new winter curtain for porch furniture and bike storage off-season. The roof was re-shingled in 2020. Offered partially furnished with the exclusion of the furniture in the 2nd floor west apartment and select items from other apartments, a list will be provided.
