Original This Old House On Finest Original Lot In Danville

Built in or around 1880 this old house had been lived in by the same family since 1923. It still maintains the era of the past with all the uniqueness of the old houses from the turn of the century. The house sits on what is probably the most desirable lot in town. A corner lot of about 3/4 acres with a park like setting large trees and an original carriage house still serving its duty. the front area where the house sits is ringed with boxwood hedges and large trees. The interior has a uniqueness of its own that is hard to describe. The pictures don't do it justice so you will have to see it for yourself. The upstairs has 4 bedrooms with a beautiful mezzanine and sun room. The downstairs has a small kitchen, dining room, front parlor with fireplace, a library, bedroom and bathroom. Full dry basement with cellar door. This is an older home with original plaster over lath construction and will need modernized if that is your taste. If you are looking to live in a turn of the century home like it is, this could be just what you want. Some water damage from a previous older roof can be seen in the upstairs. In 2002 the owner replaced the entire roof with 30 year dimensional shingles all the way down to the frame. New flashing on the three chimneys have eliminated all the leaks but the interior repair is still needed. This is a chance of a lifetime to own an original 1800's home that is still close to original. Sitting on a corner lot that most people could only dream of. Last years taxes were only $1300 but there were an over 65 and a homestead exemption.
