With an abundance of rich history, the Lovingly preserved Victorian home that Thomas B. Greenlaw built in 1910 still stands tall. This 4/5-bedroom property is pretty as a picture, with the gorgeous true Victorian style, half-timbering trim, stunning covered porch, and is ready for new owners to continue the love and preservation of this piece of history. With a classic pitched roof, newly painted wood siding and wrap around porch, it would look perfectly in place in a storybook! From the wonderful porch, enter the foyer with original ornate wood staircase, wood floors, and tall ceilings. Authentic wood trim, paneled doors, caps, mouldings, and casings throughout boast timeless charm. Perhaps the most striking interior feature is this period staircase. With a solid balustrade and wood spindles (owners are in process of refinishing), it's a stunning original element that's remained a inviting element over the years. Imagine how much fun you could have holiday decorating! To your right through the original pocket doors is the front parlor, now living room. A bit beyond, and through the second set of pocket doors, is the formal dining room with large windows for natural sunlight, there is also an gorgeous door leading to the West side of the wrap around porch.Also from the dining room you can access the rear of the home, which is currently being used for a den, playroom, laundry, and would make a perfect main level master suite. Also attached is a tastefully updated 3/4 bathroom with polished stone tile. From the dining room, you will be led into the updated and perfectly appointed kitchen with plentiful cabinets and counter space. From the Kitchen you will have access to the help's (2nd) staircase, as well as access to the basement. Upstairs, the accommodation is equally as delightful. On the spacious landing alone you'll find more original wood trim & casings, a characterful pitched ceiling, and nicely spaced doorways. The current owners have painted the walls grey tones, giving the upper level a more modern touch. The entrance hall is bright and airy with high ceilings & gorgeous wood flooring leading through to the rest of the accommodations, which includes four bedrooms and one full bathroom with a claw-foot tub keeping it in line with the Victorian era, yet modern. Large windows, some being leaded designed, give a natural sun-kissed light throughout the home.From the second level you will find another staircase leading to the large attic area that is perfect for all of your extras. Keeping the original structure of the home in mind, the furnace for the 2nd floor is housed in the attic, while the one for the main level is located in the basement. For this age of home the basement is usually dry as there is a sump pump and drain to maintain any moisture intrusion. Just a few more updates to mention are electrical, paint, exterior, windows glazed, and so much more. The entire exterior has been completely hand stripped prior to painting, extra care & time were taken to give this home it's absolute best possible restoration. You will have more than enough room in this home and no shortcuts were taken while restoring and preserving, so the maintenance for years to come should be undemanding. This home has truly been preserved and will continue to provide a wonderful home to the next owners.
