This gorgeous home, known as the Taylor Mansion, was built by Charles Taylor from 1898-1900. He traveled the country to hand select the 8 different kinds of hardwood woodwork found throughout the home, including inlaid hardwood floors and pocket doors. The 6 fireplaces, all uniquely carved and tiled, and an impressive entryway and parlor will WOW your guests as you entertain! Plenty of room for family and guests. Would make a lovely Bed & Breakfast! The 3rd floor walk-up attic/ballroom could be finished for even more living space with great views of the river and downtown! The current owner has meticulously restored the home and it is a work in progress. On three large lots in the Fifth Street Historic District! Don't miss out on this one!!
