Large Character home situated on a thoughtfully landscaped 1 acre lot with riverfront on the beautiful Mersey River. Another vacant 1 acre riverfront lot gives adequate room for future development. On the main floor, the open-concept kitchen and dining room is the hub for entertaining guests. The large family room at the back of the house features a stone floor with in-floor heating and opens to a spacious deck facing the backyard. A primary bedroom, full bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub, laundry, and pantry complete the main floor. On the second level, you will find a guest suite equipped with an eat-in kitchen, living room, full bathroom, and two bedrooms. The house is believed to have been built by a local saw milling family. The balloon timber-frame construction is apparent in the kitchen, featuring exposed beams complete with wooden pegs, mortise joints and pit-saw lumber. There are even sawyer marks that can be found in the rafters of the attics. Some of the other unique historical features include three mantels, one of which is white and grey marble. The marble mantle in the front room is back-to-back with a wooden mantle that is a focal point in the dining room. A lot of the original wood work is still intact as well. Heat is provided by an efficient oil-fired furnace for the downstairs and electric baseboards upstairs. Many upgrades have been carried out over the years including clapboard siding, metal roof, electrical, plumbing, paved driveway, etc. This home has remained in the same family for almost a century.
