Located on a coveted tree-lined West End Avenue block in the center of the “West End Collegiate Historic District” this 21 foot wide, 5-story Eclectic Renaissance styled townhouse is the Fourth house in a row of Nine original houses constructed in the 1890s.

Their vision of a limestone facade, wide stoop along with double leafed wood and plate entry doors, arched transom coupled with it’s handsome bayed windows and gabled roof enable 347 and it’s a mirror 349 to stand out as the centerpieces of this glorious block.
