Turn of the Century Brick Farm House featuring year round views and outstanding craftsmanship & charm. Examples of the caring craftsmanship are everywhere in the home but standouts are the wood trims, plastered ceiling and walls, and the hand built staircase leading to the upper 4 rooms and second bath. Even the main floor framing, subfloor are made from native white and red oak. We believe the main level flooring under the carpet and vinyl is hardwood as can be seen from the basement subflooring. I can just imagine how beautiful the virgin hardwoods would be if refinished.
 
When the owners remodeled the kitchen the first thing you will notice are the cabinets and the built-ins. They too hired quality craftsman to build the custom hand made cabinets. So to not change the character of the kitchen they had the cabinet maker match the semi circular plaster overhang to keep the detailed plaster and original 1900’s styling and the 9’ ceilings. 
 
The wood trims, 9' ceilings are abundant and best of all for the age of the house you will find all the living spaces have very large rooms. The upper bedrooms as one might expect from a house built n the 1900’s you will find a few of them without closets, however there is space at the dormers to build one that will include natural lighting from the thermo pane windows. The rooms I called irregular as they too offer unique but usable space with the dormers and angled ceilings. There is ample closet space for one of the bedrooms in the hall and one has dormer storage.
 
Upon entering the home from the level yard and driveway onto the covered front porch you walk into the living room with 9’ ceilings. The home is currently leased while they build just down the street, and unfortunately the current tenants have the fireplace mantel covered with furniture but the mantle is outstanding craftsmanship. The fireplace currently has gas logs instead of the original wood burning for convenience sake. However the living room can be entered from the front covered porch or from the side entry covered porch. The living room is 22+’x 13’.
 
To the left of the Living room is a formal dining room and or a multi-purpose room. Once again 9’ ceilings and we believe hardwood under the carpet, and it’s a spacious 14’7x14’5.  From the dining room you can access the large 14’7x14’5 kitchen as well as the laundry room. Most likely the laundry room doubled as a canning area as it features a large sink, big freezer. It’s ideal for a large sewing room or craft room as it’s filled with natural lighting from the abundance of windows. It’s too is a wonderful size of 15’x14’10” with an exterior door leading to a walkway at the rear of the home.
 
The main hall way off the living room leads to the master bedroom as well as the breakfast nook, main level bathroom and the stair way to the second level. Once again you can’t he
