This beautiful 18th century historic greystone home is located in the small town of Red Hill, formally known as the village of Hillegassville. This magnificent home has been recently renewed. Some modern amenities were added for your living convenience. This was home to the late Irwin Richard. Mr Richard, established the Red Hill Broom Works factory that stood at the corner of sixth and Main Street where the current Turkey Hill stands. That corner was also home to the Red Hill Hotel which was also acquired at the same time. Mr. Richards home was alongside other prominent homes that including to the left and right, the Kline family who built the original cigar factory in Red Hill. It’s been determined that to build this home today, the cost would range from $1.8 million to $ 2.2 million. The stone alone would cost approximately $1.2 million dollars. This home is full of history and charm and where else could you buy a $1.8 million dollar home for nearly 1/3 of the cost.
