About this home

Steeped in history and offering immense scale, this one-of-a-kind estate is a landmark property with a rich legacy. Built in 1850 as the rectory for St. Charles Borromeo Parish, this stately residence later served as a convent and as the Formation Center for the Brothers of the Sacred Heart before being sold to the multi-generational family that owned the house prior to its present sellers. With 20 rooms, 9 bedrooms, and over 7,000 sq. ft. of living space, the possibilities are endless. The interior features soaring ceilings, large windows that flood the home with natural light, and an oversized kitchen and dining room designed for high-capacity hosting. Whether you envision a massive single-family compound, a multi-generational living setup, or a potential multi-family conversion (with city approval), this property provides the canvas. Its history of service makes it an ideal candidate for nonprofits, community organizations, or institutional use (with city approval). The full basement offers abundant storage, while the exterior features a large yard with mature trees and ample off-street parking – a rarity for the area. Close to the renowned Stadium Theatre and nationally recognized Chan's—the “Home of eggrolls, jazz & blues”—with easy access to local shops, parks, and major routes. Nearby, World War II Veterans Memorial Park offers a splash park, Nap Lajoie Field, basketball courts, playground, walking paths, performance stage, picnic areas and more....
