Property Description
A classic home like no other! Built by the owner of one of the town s factories, nothing was spared in the construction of this home. The house is as beautiful now as it was in 1915. From the outside, you will notice the cut glass windows on the sun porch, the Victorian painted molding, lots of big windows, and beautiful window shutters. The sidewalk to the porch leads past a large bay window and mature shrubs. The porch gives way to the large kitchen welcoming guests and family. The kitchen was upgraded with quality custom woodwork. One wall is beautifully tiled and includes a custom location for the original telephone. The ceiling is accented with crown molding, stenciling, and beams that were taken from the town s tannery. Ample space and seats over the radiators provide for entertaining. Passing through the glass door, you find yourself in the dining area and the attention to detail will be obvious. The walls here and in the adjacent living room are all hand sculptured plaster. The ceilings are high and have crown molding. The floors (throughout the house) are patterned 1 oak. Lots of room for a large gathering and perhaps office space here. There is a hidden staircase to the second floor; and yes, a working industrial elevator which can take you and heavy items (or your laundry) to the basement or second floor. The living room is large and bright. It has the stone fireplace upgraded with gas and a wrap-around mantel. Large windows bring in light from the sunporch; and, a bay window opens to the one side. Highlighting the fireplace are two leaded glass windows. An elegant staircase with leaded glass window leads to the second floor. A leaded glass door leads to the heated sunporch with windows on three sides and cut glass above. It s a beautiful place to relax any time of the year. Upstairs you will see the same patterned oak flooring, crown molding and lots of windows. There are many closets and they are all wrapped in cedar. There are four bedrooms and two full baths. Two of the bedrooms are on the right of the hall with the smaller adjacent bath. This bath has hand painted canvas above tile and a tiled floor. Two colorful stain glass windows accent the room. The Master bedroom is large and has access to the back staircase and the huge master bath. The Master bath also has hand painted canvas above tile. There is a big window to let in lots of light and a gorgeous stain glass window. The shower is unique with the normal head above and three heads on each side. Oh, that thing on the floor you have never seen before, it s a sits bath. Through the Master bath you get to the final bedroom. Glass on two sides (with a great view out the back to the lawn) and a porch make this room special. All rooms have covered radiators. The hot water heat makes this a cozy house in the winter (no dry skin). The attic is one of the hidden treasures. It has the same patterned oak flooring and big window. It s a great place for a play room, hobby shop or office. The flat roof has a new rubber surface and the attic roof is new steel. The basement has lots of area for storage, a workroom with built in shelving, a toilet and shower, a laundry area with tub, and a cold cellar (with dirt floor, shelving and potato bin). The back yard has a patio surrounded on three sides by mature shrubs and trees. It s a beautiful place to relax and entertain. The garage is another of the properties treasures. Its two big bays with workbench, storage closet, and it was built for heat (large radiator and coal stove that have not been used for years). There is a working half bath on the way to the second floor. The upstairs was a favorite place for locals during the Prohibition Years. People would come to play cards and enjoy the spirits hidden behind the fake walls . It's just storage space now but think of the possibilities of making your own history here. You nee to see this home! Call now for your appointment.
