Own a piece of Lonaconing history! This large duplex sits next to the church, offering flexible living — move into one unit and rent the other, or renovate both for maximum income potential. Built in 1900, the home retains remarkable original character: ornate wood trim and decorative moldings, leaded glass windows, hardwood floors throughout, and antique lighting fixtures, all set within generously sized rooms. A standout feature is the home's original ballroom, awaiting restoration to reclaim its former grandeur. The previous owner began renovations, including a new roof, partial foundation repairs, exterior painting, and removal of exterior lead paint. Buyers should budget for further updates — water damage to ceilings and failing basement flooring remain from prior conditions. Sold strictly as-is.
