Just what you've been waiting for-A GREAT OPPORTUNITY to completely restore a truly one-of-a-kind historic home, also known as "The Wedding Cake House". This would be a fabulous Bed & Breakfast as well as a destination to welcome visitors as they walk the serene walking trails & offers peaceful setting. The historic Spirit House was built by Timothy Brown as a temple of Spiritualism, taking 10 yrs to complete. It is said that he built it with the guidance of the spirits. Unlike anything you've seen,this ornate design has been compared to a wedding cake, with a three-tiered overhang made up up figurine-like objects. The grounds are SPECTACULAR with serene walking trails on 3.57 acres, a barn formerly used for woodworking and a garage. This house can be restored, just needs for you to envision the potential it has to offer. Currrently the interior is un-inhabitable, work had began & it'll be up to a buyer to complete and restore. It already has a newer roof and a new 200amp electrical service that was put in. This home is truly one of a kind just waiting for a buyer to complete the process and fulfil the potential the house has.
