Built in 1879, this historical gem is a must-see! The front porch is adorned with hand-placed tile as well as the floor of many rooms throughout the home. Beauty can be found in the details from the woodwork to the hinges. Upon entering the great parlor, take in the grand staircase under the light of original chandeliers. Continue your tour through the pocket doors and notice the 10' ceilings and stained glass windows in almost every room. The formal dining room has accordion-style doors that open up to an enclosed three-season room. There are four wood-burning fireplaces on the main floor and one gas fireplace in the primary bedroom. In the kitchen, you'll find plenty of storage space in the butler's pantry and a back staircase. Upstairs are five spacious bedrooms with charming transom windows. You'll find original hardwood floors throughout the home. There is a convenient fenced-in portion of the half-acre corner lot. An original carriage house and smokehouse are still on the property. This spectacular home offers ample space for the price. Imagine it restored to its original beauty or perhaps turned into a darling Bed and Breakfast! Don't miss your chance to walk through history, schedule your showing today!
