Venise Bard

Located on a lovely corner lot in a great in-town neighborhood, this Spacious Victorian home would suit a multitude of residential and business needs. It features many period details, including original pumpkin pine floors, two fireplaces with ornate oak mantles & tile surrounds, and a beautiful foyer and front stairway with stained glass windows. The large, formal dining room offers a copper ceiling & a cast-iron Clarion decorative woodstove. One of the two fireplaces dresses the large formal living room, while the other is the focal point of the den; the den also offers an original, built-in safe. The home’s 13’x15 updated kitchen offers a stainless steel gas range/electric oven and a stainless steel dishwasher, with a convenient walk-in-pantry & laundry room located to the side. A one bedroom apartment located at the back of the house could serve as in-law quarters; it could provide additional income, or could function as an area for an in-home office. The detached barn has been beautifully renovated and updated to serve as a versatile business space or a superb studio. The home also features a covered wrap around front porch, a turret, and a large side deck. With three finished floors of living, five or more bedrooms, and three full baths.
