This mansion has the look and feel of a true castle, right down to each of the 4400 square feet, spacious rooms, high ceilings, chandeliers, very unique woodwork, glorious architecture, 7 fireplaces and turret with widow's walk. This elegant home could be a wonderful family home, but also has many different possible other uses such as a steakhouse, bed and breakfast, museum or whatever suites you.
On the front of the house is a covered, wrap around front porch. The architectural detailing on this porch is just fascinating! As you enter through the front door, you'll find a foyer, and to the left there is a huge library (with fireplace) , that leads to an office/den. You'll love the beautiful winding staircase and woodwork that you'll see here. To the right of the foyer is the front room (with bay window) that adjoins the parlor. Each of these rooms has a fireplace, each of it's own unique style, and crown molding. You'll find beautiful tall doorways and doors with transoms above them throughout this home. Behind the parlor, you'll find a wonderful huge formal dining room, which, too, has a unique style fireplace. Behind the dining room is a very wide eat-in kitchen. To the left of the kitchen is a huge pantry/ kitchen staging room that opens to the picket fenced side yard. Also in this home you will find a very charming bathroom and very unique tub.
As you go up the glorious winding stairway to the second floor, you will see beautiful woodwork and railing, original wooden steps with a runner type carpet installation. On the second floor, you'll find three bedrooms all huge, all with fireplaces and each room having crown molding. You'll see yet another beautiful and unique winding staircase that goes to floor number three. When you get to the third floor landing, you'll see a very tastefully done sitting room inside the turret. <P>There are 2 acres, more or less, at this site. The setting is wooded, and you enter from the blacktop up a long, shaded driveway. The out-buildings and structures include an old well house, a horse barn, a smoke house, the original water tower (whereby this home had it's very own water supply when it was built), a brick forming house (by the way, the family who built this mansion had a brick factory on premise) a garage, and yes....believe it or not....the original out-house is still standing and is in good condition....a great conversation piece for your guests.
