Oh how glorious this magnificent home must have been in 1904. Six fireplaces (only 1 is used), updated kitchen, butler pantry, nursery? Oh glory be, yes and so much more. The attic could be a ballroom...oh that wood! As you enter the home, you are immediately met with the exquisite two story grand staircase, and you just want to stop and listen. If this house could talk, what tales of life it would tell. It's going to take a special lover of grand old historic homes to make this feel new again. But it will be so worth it. Priced knowing that it will need some major components updated. Serious buyers and the seller is negotiable. Come love this house as they did. Wait til you see the huge attic aka the Ballroom...pristine wood above and on floor. More soon.
