Walk into the double front door of this amazing historic 1880's Victorian and brace yourself. The details that have been preserved are flabbergasting: working transoms above most doors, never painted bead board, huge rooms, and attention to detail that can't be reproduced will take your breath away. The foyer has an awe inspiring staircase with original bead board walls and 12 ft. high ceilings. All the rooms are generously over sized, with one of the two master bedrooms downstairs and the rest upstairs. Updated electricity, plumbing, appliances, original fixtures, and woodwork have all been updated in the last couple of years. All the exterior walls have had the siding removed, rotten wood and studs replaced, rock wool insulation put in, and bad siding replaced. There is an additional foyer upstairs which is accessed by the formal stairs and a second set of servants stairs.The kitchen has new, but period appropriate tile, an island work station made from antique doors, with pull-out trash can, a new vintage appearing stove that had to be shipped in from Canada, and granite counter tops with copper inclusions that reflect the copper sink. A coffee station is built from an antique cabinet, and there is plenty room for a breakfast nook.For those who appreciate preserved history, and modern conveniences, this might just be the house for you. It was built by the Von Minden family, who lived there for 3 generations, then owned by the Bednar family for another three generations before being restored by Miss Charlie Brewer and Lee Kimbrell. You will be only the fourth owners of this historic piece. It sits on 1.23 acres, and has two generous barns, and a three car garage.Thanks for looking, and good luck!
