About This Home
This is Briar Hill, a magnificent turn-of-the-century home built in 1895, crafted from beautiful Jacobsville sandstone and masonry. This charming residence features 4 bedrooms, 2.25 baths, and boasts original woodwork, built-ins, pocket doors, high ceilings, transom windows, and stunning stained glass throughout. You'll be captivated by the amazing views of the Portage Canal from this meticulously maintained Hancock property. As you approach, you'll be welcomed by a beautifully kept rose garden. Upon entering, you'll find a spacious kitchen complete with a walk-in pantry. From there, you'll move into the formal dining room, followed by two additional rooms—a formal living room and a versatile den/office/music room—all offering incredible water views. The formal foyer includes a convenient side entrance. The upper level features four bedrooms, one with a half bath and an attached sitting room or nursery. A full bathroom is also located on this floor. The full-size attic, on the 3rd floor, presents an excellent opportunity to create a luxurious master suite. On the first floor, a side entrance leads to a full-length porch overlooking the water, perfect for enjoying the wonderful views with a cup of tea. Below the porch, you'll discover a truly enchanting garden filled with numerous rose bushes, hydrangeas, peonies, and a variety of other flowering plants. A charming path winds through the garden, leading to another comfortable sitting area with a fire ring. This remarkable property truly needs to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
