This Colonial-style home, built in 1900, has charm to spare. The property has only changed hands twice since originally built (by Herman Gessner, owner of the Fair Savings Bank/Fair Store), and the quality of this home has been appreciated and preserved by each owner since. The original details, like carved oak trim, tiled fireplaces with oak mantles, hardwood floors, and leaded windows that provide plenty of natural light give this home a special quality that is rare to find. The home has four large bedrooms and plenty of space. Enjoy the large yard and pleasant neighborhood from many different vantage points with all of the outdoor veranda and balcony space. The property boasts a roomy two-car garage that was the original carriage house and includes a second floor for extra storage or studio space. There is a workshop in the basement as well as an additional wine cellar/storage area. With three floors of living space and so much original character preserved, this home really stands in a class of its own!
