This home must truly be seen to be believed! Truly one of the most amazing examples of high style Victorian architecture in the area. A beautiful center entrance with large full front two story porch with second floor balcony! Situated on an acre of beautiful and mature landscaped yard. Stepping inside is like stepping back to an elegant and gilded time. Stained glass, Leaded glass, amazing natural woodwork, high ceilings and gracious appointments! Restored to the finest detail included an original antique butler's pantry, cold pantry, gleaming hardwood floors and recently skim coated plaster and painted walls. The kitchen is a real cooks dream! Period cabinets with high end 6 burner gas stove, copper hood fan, farm sink and antique fixtures, warming oven, pot filler and Soap Stone Counters! The second floor boasts a landing sitting area, a guest bedroom with access to the back roof top patio, a separate "sewing room", a built-in linen cabinet, a massive main bath with separate soaking tub and shower, a large master suite with tons of closets and private bath! The third floor includes a playroom and 5th bedroom as well as a ton of storage in the unfinished portion! The detached 2 story barn includes room for two cars, a potting shed off of the back and a second-floor open storage area. All utilities have been recently updated. The home was painted at the end last summer. Meticulously cared for and ready for the next curator!
