Very rarely does property like this become available. This 1881 Italianate Victorian offers breathtaking sunsets and is one of the most notable historic homes in the center of Burton's historic district. Walking into this home is like walking into a novel. The home was built for E.P. Latham 16 years after the Civil War as the perfect country house. You can see the history of 136 years in the original hardwood floors, original finely crafted woodwork and beautiful moldings, 10 ft. ceilings and original chandeliers. The doors feature L-shaped brass hooks in place of knobs to better accommodate Mr. Latham for he lost his arms in an overzealous tragic celebration of the end of the Civil War. The 2 story home is 2428 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths sited on nearly a 1/2 acre. In addition this property comes with a carriage house that has a 2 car garage and a 2 bdrm, 1 bath apartment which could be great rental income or in-law suite or whatever you want it to be. The property is zoned for an elegant gracious family residence or it is zoned & perfectly located for a B&B, restaurant, retail or whatever you imagine with all of Burton's festivals and growing reputation as a travel destination. Windward House could qualify for grants & low interest loans for restoration & preservation. To find a home of this caliber in such a prominent setting is highly unusual. Windward House comes with history and could be Spectacular. It will be a labor of love for the lucky new owner. Sold As Is
