This historic residence has been dear to the heart and beautifully maintained for 133 years. It full of original charm and glorious details that the first owner surely must have treasured!

The façade is accented with classic gingerbread trim. The original etched cranberry glass eyebrow window crowns the front door.  The door lock is also original.

Each floor features a grand center hall. The cornice and cove moldings in the foyer are exceptional and reflect the skills of talented craftsmen. The heart pine floors have handsomely withstood over a century of footsteps.

To the left, the parlor’s plaster work is stunning. The fireplace mantel is crafted of cypress. The elongated front facing walk-out windows act as a threshold to the front porch. The adjacent wall features an outward projecting bay.

Across the hall, the elegant formal dining room is sized for gracious entertaining. The current owners have gently restored and furnished this fine home into a showplace of Victorian style. Some of the carefully selected antiques are available for separate purchase.

The huge eat-in kitchen is warm and inviting. The room is furnished in an unfitted style, typical of the era. A door opens onto the side porch.

A full bath is located off the kitchen. It features a pedestal sink, water closet and tub with daisy head shower.

The gentleman’s parlor boasts a fireplace and storage closet. The original wood closet has been converted to a small ½ bath.

The staircase’s sturdy banister is yet another original 1875 feature.

The walls are detailed with random length 8 to 13 inch boards. The attic, accessible from this level, runs the entire length of the kitchen below.

The home’s electric and plumbing have been updated. Two heat pumps assure interior comfort. The 3 year old roof is comprised of 12 inch pressed tin squares.
