Built as a single family, 55 Putnam is currently a two-family begging to be converted back into a grand single, with the original bridal staircase and floors in excellent condition. Set on a side street near vibrant Union Square, Gilman Square GLX, and the community bike path, this 1874 mansard gem underwent a remarkable transformation in 2015, winning a Historic Preservation Award in the process. The handsome period architectural detail of the exterior is expertly matched by the thoughtfulness tasteful finishes throughout, airy 11ā€™ ceilings, windows galore; and the not so sexy, like high-density insulation, Cat6 Ethernet, and double-drywalled ceilings for sound isolation. Upstairs, with 4 beds, 2 baths, and over 2,100 SF of living space on two levels, unit 2 could easily be incorporated back into a single. Full basement with high ceilings, a backyard with mature plantings, and four parking spaces. Seller welcomes offer with reasonable request to pay for the buyers compensation.
