Property Description
Experience the craftsmanship of yesteryear in this stately stone home offering many original details! A large covered front porch is flanked by columns. Enter the front door with sidelights and transom into a tiled heated vestibule featuring subway tiled walls and a unique ice water spigot. Another impressive large door leads into the home with 9 ft ceilings and hardwood floors. Pocket doors lead to the huge great room flanked by a stone fireplace. Natural daylight floods this room with its many windows facing 3 directions: east, south, and west. The dining room offers lots of space and a swing door leads to the kitchen. Note that many of the home's radiators are not very noticeable being recessed into the wall under the window sills. The kitchen offers updated cabinetry, newer appliances, and a stainless sink with modern faucet. A large pantry/closet is nearby. Two enclosed heated porches offer so much character and charm with their original doors/locks/knobs, beadboard ceiling and transoms. Though once porches, now with heat they have many possible uses as dining, playroom, office, sun room, mud room, hobbies, etc. A half bath rounds out the first floor. Upstairs are 4 very large bedrooms with hardwood floors and transoms, continuing the charm and character from yesteryear. A laundry chute can be accessed in the bath and front bedroom. A full bath offers a pedestal sink and modern shower stall. The finished attic gets lots of natural light and could be turned into 1-2 more large bedrooms with the addition of heat. The partly finished basement offers another full bath, storage space and a walkup to the backyard. The level backyard and side yard is partially fenced. Improvements over the years include roof, windows, insulation, and conversion from oil heat to gas heat. Within a few blocks of Albright College.
