Come see this one of a kind century home set in a professionally planted oasis of tranquility. This is the well known "Cass Home" which was bought by the current home owner in 1985 and renovated throughout. Now some 33 years later it needs a new owner with a love of restoration who appreciates heritage and architectural detail. In addition to the home, there is a total of 9.5 acres which includes an open pasture field. A charming covered veranda faces south with a 2 level deck down to the side yard. The kitchen and family room have lots of sunny windows and the original 40's porcelain sink. The servant stairs are still in place off the main kitchen. The main level rooms have hardwood and softwood original flooring and a lovely vestibule with a transom window and inside solid double doors. All the ceilings on the main level are 10 ft high with the 2nd floor having 9 ft ceilings. There is a formal dining room with mantle, a formal living room and a study with mantle, all on the main level. The baseboard and moldings denote the age of custom finishes. The original staircase is in place made of birds eye maple and mahogany. Upstairs the integrity of the home has been kept with solid original doors, flooring and mantles. A lovely open space which was originally the 5th bedroom now has a bath and walk-in closet added. A home with history. Come make your own memories in this elegant home.
