This beautiful historic home was carefully and meticulously restored and has been in the same family for 51 years. The wrap-around front porch greets you as you enter through the gold leaf accented double front doors with etched glass. The front hall has a stunning staircase and hardwood floors. Beautiful stone fireplaces and over mantle mirrors highlight the two parlors and dining room. Painted stenciling and wood moldings accent all the rooms, including the library on the first floor. The kitchen has custom designed cabinets and the original pantry with dining room pass-through. The half bath on the first floor is also custom designed. The primary bedroom is a three room suite with bathroom. The three other bedrooms are large with tall ceilings. The second bath on the second floor is also custom designed. The three parcels included with this home create over a half acre yard. There is a pond, patio, an egg shaped cairn, and wonderful landscaping outside in the yard. The back porch is a wonderful place to sit and relax. Set a time to see this stunning home in the historic Sherman Hill neighborhood.
