But none of that beauty compares to what you see, and feel- which can only be described as nostalgia- when you enter the home with its original hardwood floors. Notice the 6 crown molding and 12 baseboards throughout the home. This home has charm, beauty, and depth of character you seldom find any more. There are ten rooms on the first level alone! The front three rooms have 11 ceilings with exposed beams and beautiful rich wood cased openings and window frames. The tasteful chandeliers in the entry and formal dining room are original fixtures that have been re-wired. To the left of the large entry room, the owners have set up their office / study area.

To the right is the formal living room or parlor area. Beyond that the formal living room or parlor area is a family room with a built-in home entertainment niche, flanked by shelves on the left. Those shelves slide back on casters into the wall to reveal a hiding place under the stairway for your vacuum. Beyond the family room is the spacious master bedroom with a deep closet with built-in cubbies. The master has its own full bathroom with retro tile in pristine condition.

The spacious kitchen with its separate walk-in pantry had been updated prior to 1998 to provide lots of storage with ample wood cabinets. Beyond the kitchen in the back of the home is a very large mud room with space for laundry, freezer and even your plants for the winter. Theres another walk-in closet to store cleaning supplies, etc. There is a darling half-bath downstairs for guests.

Two more bedrooms with adjoining sitting rooms and deep closets are upstairs on either side of the stairs. These rooms are carpeted. At the top of the landing, you notice a vintage, decorative door with beveled glass and a lacy curtain. Opening this door reveals a very large linen closet! The upstairs even has a cedar-lined closet. And a teenage girl would love the dressing / makeup room with its built-in tiled counter & mirror between vintage ceramic light fixtures. These bedrooms share an upstairs bathroom.

The home is on pier & beam foundation with 3 crawl space. Behind the home is a separate 1600 square foot structure which is 17 tall. It houses a game room with loft storage on one side, and a huge shop on the other. This building has cement floors, insulated walls, skylights, and lighting inside and out. The shop includes an oversized roll-up door for parking, and will even accommodate an RV or horse trailer.

This is a home where families with an appreciation of the finer things lived and raised their families. This is a home where generations gathered in the dining room for holiday meals and lively conversation. This home is looking for another family to love it as much as the family that has owned it thus far.
