The detail throughout this approximately 6,000 square foot home is pleasing to the eye. From original Spanish brass light fixtures to intricate ceiling stencils and an original Venetian crystal chandelier, each and every turn of the head reveals a visual delight filled with character and detail.

There are still projects to be completed, but this stately home is completely livable, featuring 4.5 bathrooms, 8 bedrooms, plenty of charming nooks and crannies, a backyard ideal for relaxing and a detached garage/carriage house built to look like it belongs on the grounds.

The sellers want to share as much information about the home as possible, as they have made it their passion and raised a family here for 20 years. They will be available for questions and answers so they can provide as much help as possible to the new owners.

To provide a little perspective, the home was built for $23,000 in 1902 at a time when many homes were built at a cost of $2,000 to $6,000. Renowned architect Walter Boschen was the mind behind this one. Replacement cost of the home is estimated at upwards of $2 million.
