Do no sleep on this stunning historic Gothic Revival, Victorian Era home sitting on half an acre, in Stanwood. Built in 1849, by the founder of Stanwood, this 1.5 story brick home with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 3 wood-porches, 2 fireplaces, and an enormous 3-stall garage is truly one-of-a-kind! From the oak floors to the trim and crown moldings, this house is stuffed-full of gorgeous woodwork - you will notice this throughout. The private formal dining room is a fantastic opportunity for parties & entertaining. The spacious dine-in kitchen was a 1980s addition with plenty of natural light and entrance to the rear deck. The original kitchen was converted into a study where one of the two fireplaces can be found. The back porch on this mature lot offers some privacy & looks onto acres of farmland. The property itself includes an 80% perennial garden bearing strawberries, cherries, apples, asparagus, and a variety of flowers.
