Wow, what a house! 5 generous bedrooms, 2.5 bath. Ornate natural Oak woodwork and oak floors everywhere! Spacious entry with elegant open staircase. Library with fireplace and builtin bookcases. Stained and Lead glass windows throughout. Pocket doors that work! Dining room features extra-large windows, Oak wainscoting, built in china cabinet and buffet, and beamed ceiling. Kitchen updated recently. Half bath with marbled walls. Upstairs, 2 baths one updated with shower, one with original subway tiles & tub. Third floor is mostly finished and could become bonus room or another bedroom/bath combo. Outside enjoys a spacious porch/veranda, extra large double lot with a 3 car 40x 32 outbuilding, and a Children's playset. Solar hot water assist. Bed and Breakfast potential. Must see to appreciate!
