For the last 33 years, this fabulous 2+ story home (located on Historic Pucker Street) has been the owners’ own enchanted palace who put their hearts & souls in restoring their home to the original historical state (but with modern upgrades). From the light refracting through the custom leaded glass foyer doors & staircase stained glass windows to the beautifully restored woodwork throughout, this home has so much character it is difficult to pick a favorite part. There are several spacious living areas, the parlor/great room with an 1870’s antique piano that is remaining, to the family room with 2-sided fireplace, the office/library with direct access to a half bath (could double as a bedroom) to the updated kitchen. The kitchen features wood flooring, soapstone counters, breakfast bar, newer cabinets & stainless steel appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is the spacious formal dining room with wood flooring, high ceiling & the beautiful dining room furniture remains. Each of the three large bedrooms offers its own private retreat as well as a full & half bath & second level laundry. The primary bedroom features a sitting area window seat in the turret plus balcony to outside. The living area doesn't stop at the second level. The third level offers a wonderful surprise! 1940’s wool carpet leads you to a party room & two other additional rooms. There is a newer oversized 4+car garage with easy care hardy plank siding. The house has partial brick (tuck pointed as well as interior foundation) & hardy plank siding, 2022 shingles, zoned heating/AC, some newer windows & new storm windows (all windows have had ropes worked on for ease in operating), up-dated electrical & plumbing, security system & front & back porches. Close to the heart of Uptown Marion to maximize the advantages of this exciting community. They will miss the home, but are happy to share this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a new owner to find their own dream palace & begin new adventures. The home is in fabulous condition, however it is being sold 'as is'.
