The most recognizable early 1800's home in Steuben County is on the market for quite possibly the first time. This classic two-story residence is a throwback to the railroad and lumber days in the early history of Steuben County. From the cupola at the peak to the cut stone foundation, every inch of this home speaks of years gone by. Long considered a stopping place during the era of the underground railroad, this house has a story to tell. The second-floor ballroom must have had evenings filled with opulent entertaining with guest lists filled with well-known names of the times. The grounds are nearly eight acres, right at the edge of town. You've often dreamed of seeing this house become a museum, a destination restaurant, a board and breakfast or some other purpose, and now is the time. Buyers should have in hand pre-approval for conventional or portfolio lending or proof of funds. They'll leave the player piano and the pump organ to get you started on your vision quest!
