"A home is most artistic and in finest taste when it expresses the personality of its owner; when it extends the warmth of the hostess' welcome to guests and friends- when it is friendly and hospitable, and shows this in every aspect. This is what I hope to help you achieve- a home of friendly welcome to your friends- a peaceful retreat to your family." This quote was taken from a letter sent by McClellan's Shop in 1934 which was located in this home. Pull up your buggy to the deep front porch and have a sweet tea in the porch swing while watching the world pass by. Original woodwork galore, a gorgeous curved Italianate staircase, hardwood floors and a marble fireplace are just a few of the treasures you'll find here in this 3-6 bedroom home. Double staircases, a brick patio, and 2 story carriage barn complete the reasons to love this home! The sellers will also be handing over the original skeleton key that can open every door in the home as well as showing the buyers the secret compartment upstairs. With some repairs and updates this home has the potential to be a grand as when it was built. In the same family for almost 100 years, much research has been done to provide you with all of its magnificent history from the years bygone. Walking in the front door you will find a business registration from the 1930's still attached to the windowpane from when the home was previously used as an antique shop and a furniture reproduction shop. Lots of pictures help to tell the stories of the years of its life and will be passed onto the new owner. Great for entertaining with a large kitchen and separate dining room. Main level bedroom, laundry, bathroom, and an additional room that could be used as an office space or would be a great laundry room if utilities were moved. The 3 remaining bedrooms upstairs along with 3 additional bonus rooms which have their own private staircase. New roof on porch and house in 2021, new furnace in 2021, and new windows throughout in 2022. You won't get character like this in any new home so don't miss your chance at a piece of history! Broker owned.
