This impeccable beauty circa 1800’s has had extensive remodeling done twice! First, in the 1890’s, an oil entrepreneur saw spending money as no object; using only the finest available materials. You will marvel as you gaze upon the original carved oak, rare bird’s-eye maple woodwork throughout, 4 fireplaces, 10ft.ceilings on both floor levels, a grand curved ornate staircase, pocket doors, curved walls, an upstairs balcony porch as well as original black wrought iron fencing surrounding this gem. The second painstaking 8 year restoration was accomplished just 2 years ago integrating the luster and charm of the elegant Victorian age with the state of the art amenities of the modern day. Imagine radiant heat on both floor levels, a new roof, fresh exterior paint, and a fire sprinkler system! The walls have been stripped and insulated, along with new drywall (fire rated ), all new windows, doors,full radiant heat flooring throughout, $65,000 in lighting alone (fit for a palace), new wiring, plumbing(with anti-scald assurance) plus handicap accessibility to the main floor as well as a main floor bedroom /bath suite designed for handicap use. Initially, these designs were implemented with anticipation of opening a fully operating Bed-n’-Breakfast, which never came to fruition. For the house hunters out there, a move-in ready Victorian house is awaiting your arrival! The awesome great room includes a 20 ft. soaring cathedral exposed beam ceiling supporting a loft landing. The atrium doors lead to a multi-level deck for enhanced entertaining space. In keeping with the Victorian charm, the pristine kitchen with 10ft.tall cherry cabinetry, profile trim, stainless steel counter tops, Viking stove and a Corian top work-snack station is any cooks shelter. The stately dining room has a fireplace, pocket doors and is adorned with circa 18th century reproduction design wallpaper that is also prevailing on the rest of the walls in the house. The spaciousness of the living/parlor room is reminiscent of large gatherings in era’s gone by. Pass through another set of pocket doors and a gorgeous curved staircase will command the attention it so well deserves! Transition into the enclosed year-round front sitting porch as the curved windows and a gas fireplace beckon a mood to mellow. The upstairs landing allows for appreciation of the curved walls, romantic lighting, an etched glass door leading to the upper exterior porch. The wide hallway leads to 2 large bedroom suites complete with their own private full bath. The master suite has it’s own fireplace and a full bath and sitting room. The huge fully insulated walk-up attic is ready to become the crowning glory with its accented stained glass windows! Theater anyone? The full dry basement houses the 8 zoned heating system and plumbing upgrade. A large 2-story carriage house/3car garage has a paved driveway and access to an extra large paved parking area.
