Realtor Comments

From the original tile fireplace and ornate wood mantel to the impressive staircase, extensive original woodwork, built-ins, window bench seating, French doors, pocket doors, and unique two-story enclosed rear porches, the home still reflects much of the charm and design that made it special generations ago. The property does require substantial renovation. An extended period of roof-related water intrusion at the rear of the home has resulted in damage to portions of the attic, ceilings, floors, and lower levels, and mold is present in affected areas. Despite these challenges, much of the home’s original character remains preserved. Many rooms retain their historic features, and for someone with the vision and ability to take on a restoration, this could be an opportunity to save a remarkable piece of local history. Homes from this era were built with materials, craftsmanship, and architectural details that are increasingly difficult to replicate, making this property a unique candidate for restoration and renewal.
