Property Description
Step back in time with this stately 1875 two-story brick Greek Revival home, gracefully wrapped in a grand porch supported by fluted columns and a classic columnar balustrade. Inside, you'll find 10-foot ceilings and hardwood floors that flow seamlessly from the parlor and living room into the formal dining area and main-level bedroom. This home showcases timeless craftsmanship with wide period trim, solid wood doors, crown molding, vintage light fixtures and hardware, and elegant marble tile. Tremendous amount of shaker style oak cabinetry, many uppers with glass panel doors in the oversized kitchen and gathering room which encloses the previous summer kitchen. Library/den area features built-in shelves, Two more bedrooms and a bonus room/walk-in closet and half bath are upstairs. Vintage floor grates are still in place to provide return and warm air with zoned heating (no central air). Deck overlooks the backyard. Basement cellar holds the mechanicals and provides some storage. Off-street or on-street parking, but former barn foundation outlines the potential for a new garage site to serve the new owner. Priced with room to personalize and update, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying the vibrant energy of downtown. Watch community parades from your front porch and imagine the future you'll create in this distinguished home. Tour this stately home and let your imagination create your own history right here.
