Truly a historical treasure! This one-of-a-kind property is hard to describe. The main home is estimated to be built in 1812 and served as the Ironmaster's mansion for the local iron furnace. There are a total of 3 homes/residences on the property. 45, 47, and 49 Sally Ann Furnace Rd. The dwellings consist of the main house of over 4,000 square feet, plus two cute smaller stone homes. The other homes were most likely built at differing times than the main house. There is also a greenhouse and barn (the interior of the barn is rough). Can you imagine the history and comings and goings that this property has 'seen' in its time? Its sits on 10 acres +/- with a large pond and a smaller pond and is located directly across from a very large preserved parcel of land. The mansion is a true gem. You literally will not believe the size of the rooms and height of the ceilings. Amazingly, the home has 7 bedrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is a huge kitchen area, servant's quarters (the 4th bedroom), 2 large parlors, and a large dining room. There are at least 3 fireplaces that are still intact. A surprising amount of original finishes remain intact as well. One of the highlights is a huge porch on the front side of the home facing away from SAF Rd. It's spectacular. It just gives a tremendous sense of history as well as peace. I'm sure you can imagine relaxing on a rocker after a long day in delightful spring, summer or fall weather. The exterior shutters as well as the doors are stunning. In addition to the home having 3 bedrooms on the 3rd level there is still a large amount of attic storage. The basement is massive and also adds a dramatic amount of storage. Very few like this become available. This mansion is definitely a project, but what a masterpiece you will have when it's finished. As mentioned, there are two other stone homes on the property. Photos will be added to the listing of all aspects of the property. The home is listed as coming soon and cannot be shown until it goes active in the MLS. The property is fully occupied, please do not drive onto the property without permission.
