About This Home
As of July 2022Take a step back in time when construction quality was unmatched and life was a little simpler. You will be in awe at every turn at the attention to detail and grandeur of the finishings. Known as the ''Hick's Mansion'', this 13 room home was constructed in 1873. Built in the second Empire French Renaissance style with mansard roof, heavy ornate window eyebrows, and massive carved walnut doors with original glass, this home also has a 2 bedroom apartment in the lower level. The foyer features Italian tile and ornate walnut banister and staircase. In the magnificent living room with mahogany wood finishes, gas fireplace, tall ceilings, and window seats and door leading to the garden. The parlor is a site to behold. The gold gilt cornices and mirror were brought from Germany in 1860s and stored until the home was finished. The ceiling was originally painted by an Austrian artist. The dining room is a perfect place to host a formal meal or afternoon tea. It has been a rumor that President Roosevelt may have eaten here on one of his whistle stop tours. The large eat in kitchen and first floor laundry has plenty of natural light and built in storage. The second floor has two staircases leading to it and a multitude of rooms to choose as sleeping quarters. Two of the bedrooms have original sinks and fireplace facades. The original tile in the bathroom is beautiful and leads to additional built in storage and a small door to the back bedrooms. The third floor could be finished and has lots of room for storage or fun. The detached carriage house has a walk up attic. Situated on 4 city lots, this 1.2 acre estate is one of the most elegant and jaw dropping homes you will ever see.
