Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1875, this historic duplex is configured as two separate residences within an original Chautauqua cottage. The first unit offers a sitting room, eat-in kitchen, bedroom, and full bath in a linear layout. The second spans two levels with a parlor, living and dining rooms, full kitchen, workshop, four bedrooms, and a full bath. Two of the upstairs bedrooms open directly to the porch, while attic space provides additional storage. Stacked front porches and a private side yard add outdoor character to the property.

Located at 20 Center Ave in Chautauqua, the cottage is within walking distance of the lake, Athenaeum Hotel, tennis and pickleball courts, sailing docks, and Amphitheater. The grounds are largely car-free during the nine-week summer season, supporting pedestrian and bicycle movement. Chautauqua also operates as a four-season community beyond the summer program. The property is associated with Booker T. Washington's 1896 stay following his address at the Amphitheater.

Key Highlights

  • Two‑unit duplex configuration with separate entrances from the front porch
