The original houses on Broad Street, Port Allegany were built throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This 1940 Simplified Colonial Revival style home embodies the practicality and modest charm prevalent at that time. It showcases a transitional aesthetic, balancing traditional elements with the emerging simplicity of post-war design. A defining architectural detail, the scooped front entryway provides a welcoming and distinctive focal point to the facade. This home boasts a stunning side porch, its generous proportions enhanced by graceful arched openings, reminiscent of classic architectural styles. A recessed front entrance adds a unique, perhaps subtly Deco-influenced touch. The stone chimney with earthy tones and texture is a captivating focal point adding character and charm to this four bedroom home. The overall effect is one of enduring strength and classic design, anchoring the house with a sense of warmth and history. An oversized two-car garage with a wooden door was a common and practical feature, allowing for more than just vehicle storage. The extra space in this garage provides built-in work benches, storage solutions and access to the back yard as well as the house. Stepping inside, reveals an interior that has warm wood tones, creating a cozy and authentic atmosphere. From trim and doors to the craftsmanship of the era is highlighted by original features such as hardwood floors, built-in shelving and cabinetry adding character and functionality. The interior retains a sense of unadorned charm and historical integrity, with familiar features like the wood burning fireplace, updated with a wood burning insert and an open staircase with spindles adding a beautiful touch to the open floor plan. Moving from the gracious living room into the formal dining room demonstrates the flexibility of the open floor plan. The kitchen is delightful with its modern amenities as in the under mounted sink, corian countertops, room for a coffee bar, an adjoining breakfast room, a den/office and a powder room. “We hope you will be captivated by the charm and enduring quality of this 1940’s home”
