While the beautiful historic townhouse is worthy of notice on it's own, there are several features that make this opportunity even more interesting. It's packed with possibilities.
The Rooftop Patio and Garden.
On the second floor, French doors lead to the roof top patio and garden off the breakfast room. The patio is on the roof of the 317 Pine Street building. It features two levels and two storage sheds for patio equipment and furniture. One of the sheds, which adjoins the townhouse, was designed and built by Gary Templin with a mansard roof to compliment the structures. The larger of the roof top tiers accommodates a ten foot by ten foot gazebo to provide shade and protection from rain.
The Ground Floor.
The ground floor ,which was originally the townhouse’s scullery and later housed the Templins popular restaurant MacDuff's, is currently being renovated into a basement work room, 300 bottle wine cellar and office/study for the use of the townhouse occupants. It could be modified to provide an additional bedroom suite with a bathroom and sitting area for elderly parents.
Adjacent buildings for sale.
The Templins own three buildings at the corner of Fourth and Pine Streets in downtown Jamestown, New York. They are 16 E. Fourth Street, 18 E. Fourth Street (the Townhouse) and 317 Pine Street. Each building is on an independent deeded property. The two adjacent buildings currently have rental appartments with some renovation going on in the 16 E. Fourth Street building. The rentals could be maintained which would assure your choice of neighbors or the three buildings could be made into one home unit. There is also the posibility of running a business in either side building. The possibilities are wide open.
