This Prairie Italianate masterpiece dates back to the early 1860s with all the architectural nuances typically only observed in a museum.

Dentil work adorns both the interior and exterior trim, and tall narrow windows with ornate hood moldings and stained glass windows showcase the elaborate details of Italianate design. The original home faced east, which today serves as the back yard, while the once rear of the home now boasts a 4-5 car tandem garage with a convenient kitchen side entry. The tall ceilings and long windows bring authenticity to the design, and the woodwork throughout is absolutely stunning. Coffered ceilings embrace the dining room which truly is a home highlight, surrounded by ornate wood and leaded glass built-ins, stained glass transom windows, and wainscoting. Modern day luxuries with traditional charm can be found throughout the home...such as the ice delivery door that now serves as a grocery pass through; the butler's pantry with original swinging door that currently offers great storage and mudroom convenience; and the original staff quarters with separate staircase that creates private spaces for guests and teens. The fully renovated kitchen brings the home into the modern day with gleaming quartz counters, cherry cabinets, sub zero fridge, eat-in table space in addition to bar seating.and a touch of the past with a franklin-style stove. 7 bedrooms; 6 fireplaces; 5 bathrooms; genuine library; rounded staircase; claw foot tub; expansive basement with functional rec space, 3-basin vintage washtub, full workshop, wine cellar room and tons of storage; first floor laundry; wifi throughout; dual master bath vanities; walk in showers; multi-zoned heating and air; new dual water heaters; new roof; professionally landscaped; fully fenced; 200 plus additional 100 amp electric; 35 mature trees...privacy tucked in the heart of town.
