About This Home
As of June 2021Welcome to 1236 Hill Road in Penn’s Common Historic District. This impressive Park front Victorian has a large tiled front porch which leads to the front entrance. Step inside through the period tiled vestibule which leads into the grand entrance hall with an open curved staircase. A Grand living room with marble mantled gas fireplace is accented by Floor to ceiling windows with original window shutters which are operational. Large dining room with ornate mantel leads way into the functional modern oak kitchen. You will enjoy the breakfast room with original slate top sink and cupboards. Three side entrances access the side covered porch area which allow the mountain breezes in and opens up your City views. The upper reaches offer 6 total private bedrooms with original moldings and ornamental fireplace mantles. Off the rear bedroom is a dressing room with period built-ins. The second floor offers several doors that open up to porches to take in the breeze and views. The 3rd level offers two additional bedrooms and a large unfinished room with high that is beckoning to be an artist studio or work at home studio. To the rear of the home is a large oversized two car garage with auto openers as well as a rear raised bed garden. This home offers updated electrical, and gas heating as well as a newer roof installed in 2019. I can’t even image the cost to reconstruct this home in today’s prices! The period light fixtures through-out the home are truly amazing. Don’t miss out in seeing this Historic gem today !
