About This Home
As of May 2021Amazing 19th Century Queen Anne ''centennial castle'' anchors the NE corner of this wonderfully evolving NW neighborhood. Built between 1883 to 1895 depending on the source. This stately home is in surprising original condition. It has stood the test of time and remains an enduring legacy to the lumber baron who built it, Mr. Pettibone. The exterior is eclectic and asymmetrical. Boasting massive stone and brick front porch. Arches and columns. Gabled roof. Polygonal tower. The interior has 4 to 5 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, 2 Living Rooms and 2 Kitchens and will simply enchant you. You'll find a sculpted staircase. Bay windows with leaded glass. Arched niche with a beautifully tiled fireplace. Oak columns and mantle. Oversized oak trim. Hardwood floors. Many updates. Must see!
