How do you put a price on the charm and history of an era? When this house was built in the 1870s, Parkersburg had only 6000 residents. Railroad bridges were just being built. Typical Victorians have a wraparound porch, ornate woodworking, multiple fireplaces and beautiful wood floors. This house has ALL that and more. Exterior walls are a work of art, handcrafted brick, with precise and even mortar. A beautiful curved staircase graces the wood paneled entry with a built-in bench and a beautiful stained glass feature. All rooms on the first level have original wood floors, transom or pocket doors, and original woodwork. Every fireplace and light fixture on the first floor demonstrates a personality unique to the room. The fireplace in the den is a one-of-a-kind with a built in clock ...even the numbers are carved wood. Each of 4 bedrooms on the second floor has its own fireplace, as well. The master has a walk in closet/dressing room. Laundry is located on the second floor. The generously-sized front porch provides the perfect venue for passing the afternoon on the swing, enjoying the lush foliage of any number of mature perennials. A historic carriage house serves as a double garage. Plenty of off street parking. Even the iron fence and gate are historically accurate. Come step back in time and enjoy the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Priced so you can make YOUR upgrades. NOTE: Forced air heat serves the first floor only.
