Property Description
How many people have dreamed of living in the Dowd House Mansion?!?! Step into the charm and grandeur of this historic Greek Revival home, circa 1880s, offering three stories of incredible character and rich local lore! Previously known as the Dowd Mansion, according to the Salamanca Historical Society, Judge Dowd hosted several political notables including President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor! The Roosevelt's actually slept at the Dowd House! In 1886, it became the first house in Salamanca, NY to have a bathtub! This one-of-a-kind property is filled with timeless appeal and remarkable potential. While it is in need of restoration and cosmetic updating, the home appears to retain solid bones, and major improvements have already begun, including updated plumbing and a renovated third floor efficiency apartment. Whether you dream of restoring it to its original elegance, creating a stunning private residence, or transforming it into a charming bed and breakfast, this is a rare opportunity for a buyer with vision, passion, and appreciation for historic homes! Priced to sell, this diamond in the rough is ready for its next chapter! *Photos are from when home was previously listed*.
