Preface . . .
Set gently on the `sweeping corner of Carmi's 4th & Main our Story begins.
This more than stately home is the recipient of the distinguished 1996 `Heritage House' Award.
---------
Passing the original black wrought iron fence we may enter the half acre lush landscaped property
and enjoy gardens touched by the Maker's Hands, a dry laid sandstone privacy wall (that may be observed from sitting areas around the grounds) and a meditating fountain on the front lawn that may be enjoyed from the wrapping columned front veranda.
Our `Home' is just as special inside as it is the outside! The Great Foyer is just a glimpse of the
warm welcome you will feel throughout each and every room of the home. Bleached Oak trim
is illuminated by the eleven foot high ceilings with crown mold, many original & authentic replicated chandeliers, sconces and ceiling fans, chair rails & refinished hardwood floors. The
romance of this home continues as once hidden pocket & french doors have been restored to
share their glory and the diamond beveled & mullion windows are a piece of art to be shown by themselves.
Chapter I. . .
The `chapter of our main floor tells the story of a Grand Parlor accented by a Marble surround
fireplace and beautiful bay & bow windows, our Formal Dining room calls attention to the
main chandelier with medallion and scribed ceiling. The residents may enjoy the `Dove Crossing garden from the Breakfast room or have the option of larger parties as the Dining room is adjacent. Both are easily serviced by the well appointed chefs kitchen with Cherry wood ~Sunset stained cabinets, Butler's Pantry and Corian counters and splashes. A most comfortable Den serves as our reading room and is separate from the office of the home (enter able from the home, Portico and drive). A powder room and utility room attends the main floor.
Chapter II . . .
The `chapter' of our second floor leads us up the front staircase ...adorned by a niche and an original stained glass window, now viewing into the upstairs study (or fourth Bedroom),with adjoining suite. Reaching the Landing we are presented with 3 Bedrooms and 3 Baths. The Master Bedroom Suite is appropriately set with its own fireplace and all have ample closet spaces.
A second floor Sun porch sets one to relax with `Tree House' like views of the back garden.
Chapter III & IV. . .
The third & fourth `chapters of Our Story are marked by a Post Beam Attic with Cedar Storage room and a Basement complete with 3 bay potting sink, full bath plumbing and room upon room
of dry storage.
Footnotes - are Newer Central Air, Preservative Heat, Copper Plumbing, 200 & 100 amp Electric Breaker Services. Two detached garages; one ~ 2 car, and a second ~ one car... possible carriage home.
The conclusion of `Our Story shall be for you to continue to write. . . just as the past has brought us to the present ~ with happy and memorable moments dreamed of, lived well and shared with love!
