Property Description
This Norman French Chateau was built by an architect in 1928 for his own family. You will have the honor of being only the 4th owners of this home that comes with so much history and charm and the original blueprints! The current owners purchased the home in 2014 and fell in love with the European charm and saw its potential. Staying within the old style, they updated the home by replacing the oil heat with natural gas and brand new top of the line Knight gas furnace in 2014. The house is heated by natural gas radiators, baseboard heat and Mitsubishi ductless remote controlled mini split units that also serve to efficiently cool the house.
The ergonomically appointed kitchen was completely remodeled with all Quaker handmade cabinetry, extra deep, lighted cabinets, soft closed drawers, stainless steel GE appliances, a 1.5 gas oven range, Italian tile work and backsplash, quartzite marble countertops [lifetime warranty], a Koehler farmhouse sink and wooden breakfast bar with barstools.
A custom built in wall cubby gives ample room for storing shoes, hanging your jackets, keys with built in storage above when entering through the covered carriage archway.
Brand new roof was added in 2023 along with all copper guttering. Newly paved 150 ft driveway in 2024.
The jack and jill bath upstairs had a complete remodel in 2015. The house has original fir wood floors refinished 2015. New tile added to upstairs bathrooms in 2015. Interior and exterior of home was painted in 2015.
Over the one car garage boasts an impressive studio with huge built in skylight and 18 foot ceiling with gorgeous wood beams and paned windows. Above the house is a third floor PLUS an attic that has a huge amount of storage.
The basement contains the washer and dryer and workbench and plenty of room for ping pong table, game room, man cave or home gym.
