Agent Comments

Owner invested thousands in emptying and repairs. Attic and basement contents empty, all new electrical junction boxes throughout the basement, all new stairs in the basement, repaired all broken windows, repaired all the soffits and new downspout! Priced below assessed value in order to accommodate any costs of improvements. From the hand crafted details in the original wood work, to the mural paintings above the shoulder high ledge around the dining room walls, the home has as much charismatic history as it has craftsmanship. Enter the front door to the ornate hand crafted parlor with a majestic staircase to the second floor where the doctor saw his patients in the room at the top of the stairs. Or enter the paned lead glass French doors into the sitting room or den attached to the living room. The landscape windows with window bench and storage, sit across the wood burning fireplace next to a set of folding doors that lead into the dining room.

Family History

Built in 1915 by Dr. Miller, Wellman’s first doctor, this isn’t just a home it is a piece of history. The doctor saw his patients at the room at the top of the stairs. I wonder if the good doctor chose this town for his practice because of its name.
