Clinton Hill House With Annabelle Selldorf Reno Asks $17K

"With its porch, side walkway, windows on three exposures, and generous proportions, this Second Empire wood house dates from the 1860s when Clinton Hill was still developing. It boasts an elegant parlor floor and a kitchen by noted architect Annabelle Selldorf along with original details and modern updates. In the historic district, 70 Cambridge Place is one of a pair of stucco-faced brick dwellings built circa 1862 by William Rushmore."

"Joined along one wall, they are both detached on the opposite side with space for a walkway to the rear yard. The houses' four floors include a sunken garden level and mansard-roofed attic with dormers. At No. 70, most of the wood porch has survived, while the arched wooden cornice with dentil molding visible in the circa 1940 tax photo is gone."
