EXCEPTIONAL HISTORIC GEM AT BEAUTIFULLY ENHANCED PRICE. This house stood proudly as Teddy Roosevelt led the Roughriders off to Cuba for the Spanish American war. And, more than a hundred twenty-seven years later, the turn of the century romance is tuned to up-to-the-minute living in this irreplaceable 1896 statement. Tall windows, and heart pine floors, casements and molding, all speak to the integrity of the turn-of-the-last century. The new kitchen and baths, windows and appliances transform the enchanting history to practical living. The oversized lot (80 x 125),bristling with gardens and courtyards, and miles of covered porches beckon you to step inside and show off, relax, indulge, say "welcome home". Cross the threshold, and a classic gallery leads you from front to back, the main axis taking you from the formal parlor/living room, past the downstairs master suite, to the kitchen/dining/family room complex. Bathed in light, Family rm./sunroom draws the outside in, with views to a resort-style yard, this entire level creating the perfect flow for intimate family living and gracious entertaining. The period staircase ascends to two large bedrooms, a fully updated bath, and a delightful bonus room/sunroom that, with own closet, does easy double duty as a fourth bedroom. Glowing heart pine floors, and glass transoms topping the tall doors continue the layers of charm. Very few of these historic gems goes on the market. While plenty of newer homes try to mimic a glimmer of the charm, this is the real thing. DON'T MISS THE MINI MOVIE UNDER VIRTUAL TOUR! IT'S MUST SEE T.V.! StellarMLS TB8355730
