About This Home

As of August 2017

Wow! Loads of renovations and improvements have been done by the present owners, since taking possession in 2015. From the front/side wraparound porch, to the upper level "Gingerbread" trim and circle-top windows, to the square turret, you'll be amazed at how this wonderful structure has stood the test of time, for more than a century. Upon entering an enclosed vestibule area, it opens immediately to a beautifully sculpted staircase that leads up to the second level. There are a pair of massive, solid wood pocket doors that open up to a parlor, or entertainment room area, with the original wooden floors, a mirrored imitation Fireplace, wide sculpted trim, plus another set of huge wooden pocket doors that next lead into the wide Living Room area. Again, the original wood floors, wide sculpted wood trim, and interior wood-shuttered windows bring this post civil war era to the forefront. There's also a passage door that leads onto the side/front porch. In addition, authentic and massive paneled doors are available to accentuate the area leading from here and into the huge Dining Room. There's also a passage door that leads to another side porch, plus there's a door that provides a direct access to a first floor Powder Room. There's a galley-style, upgraded Kitchen, with new paint, new flooring, newly crafted cabinetry, track lighting,plus a dinette area, as well as a passage door that leads to a rear porch. Heading upstairs, it again displays the original wooden floors, wide trim, over-door transoms, and much more, with the 4 Bedrooms and Bathroom. In addition, there's a huge closet at the front end of the hallway, where loads of clothing can be stored. The 3rd floor attic is separated into two separate rooms, each of which are finished off with plastered walls and ceilings. Good things don't end up here either, as the basement reveals a 200 AMP electric service, plus a Gas-Fired heater for the utmost in heating efficiency. Finally, there's a detached garage out back, with direct access to the rear alley, plus off-street parking. There's excellent, very low down payment financing available, so don't wait any longer to check out this upgraded time capsule!
