This Pristine Historic two bedroom / 1 1/2 bathroom early 19th century colonial built by a prominent Black entrepreneur, is an opportunity to purchase a home that has been in the same family since built. 54 William Street has wide pine floors throughout, 5 year old architectural grade asphalt roof, brand new wood copper lined gutters, and beautiful windows that sparkle in the sunlight. The great room on the first floor and the primary bedroom on the second floor are flooded with southern exposure. Sitting high off the street, this house has great vistas looking down towards the waterfront and yet has total privacy. On the first floor not only do you have the living room with a built-in bench for reading and lounging but a dining room, kitchen and a 1/2 bath with laundry. On the second floor is a large bedroom -mirroring the footprint of the first floor - as well as a smaller bedroom. The shared full bath has a tiled floor. There is a rear garden and off-street parking for one or two cars depending on their size. Come experience life on the "Hill".
