This 1885 Cooper Township farm home is a diamond-in-the-rough waiting for you to apply talent and tenderness. The 1940-50 kitchen is a blank slate, with great square dimensions and a pass-through cabinet to the dining room. The rooms are huge, the wood floors unaltered, the pocket doors operate smoothly, and most importantly the interior carpentry has not been painted; it has the historic sheen of old time shellac. You will faint with excitement when you see the 1885 exquisite carpentry detail on the stairway newel posts and bannisters. The bedrooms are large (there are five upstairs and a main floor bedroom), consistent with the style of the era and much of the plaster work is original. There is a walk-up attic area and rear stair. The acreage has supported cattle in years past and there are three outbuildings. This estate has dramatic provenance and curb appeal, and is a destination that will excite you every day.
