Property Description
Known as "The Big House" this property has been owned by the same family since 1971. This gorgeous Prairie-Style American Foursquare brick home was built in the 1920's by a banker who then lost it in the great stock market crash of 1929. It features 3355 SF, a portico, original hardwood floors, 2 fireplaces (not currently functioning), gorgeous walnut paneling, beveled glass windows, original walnut dental crown molding, and a Holmes Disappearing Bed cleverly hiding beneath the book case in the "library" room. Don't miss the built-in cabinets and giant hand-crafted bi-fold doors. Relax on the cool, covered 390 SF front porch or on the second story "sun porch." Enjoy the warmth of radiator heat provided by the new high efficiency boiler installed January 2025. This house has plenty of space for everyone and a yard to match with mature trees and a prolific apple tree. The gazebo in the back yard has a canvas top (currently being stored in the rec room) which bolts to the top. Don't miss the family-friendly park in town that features a playground and splashpad! Fencing visible in some photographs has been removed.
