Good-bye Victorian era, Hello American Foursquare and the roaring 20’s. Notable features of the American Foursquare include the wide hip roof and central hipped dormer. Enchanted on what’s behind the central hipped dormer… you will find a floored attic just waiting to hold your seasonal treasurers. The homes finished area is 4,233 so estimating over 2,000 sq ft in attic space. Accessibility, simply open the door and walk up the steps. Every home displays it’s story if you just pay attention to the details. Not only is the floor attic unique but notice the other upgrades on the architecture and design of this home. The stone used (compared to siding or lower grade stones) is probably the most noticeable feature. It elevates the homes aesthetic appeal and durability. Few materials rival the timeless elegance and enduring strength of natural stone. Take notice of the planters at the entrance and along the south side of the home. We are told those were brought in from France. At one time there were also flower boxes off the Sun Room. Though gone, the stone that held them remains intact. Another testament to the home’s character. See how the porch runs the entire width of the home. Unlike many of today’s homes, this porch is entirely covered by a roof and deep enough for outdoor furniture and other decorations. It extends to the grand porte-cochere, a reminder of the home’s luxurious past where a chauffeur would once have parked a Model T or such and ushered guests under the protective archway. before he followed the drive into the garage. It appears at one time terraces graced the front and on the south side of the home. The doors on the second level still open to the roof, inviting you to enjoy sunset dinners or stargazing with ease. It also makes maintenance much easier than climbing a ladder. A standout feature is the slate roof, renowned for its longevity and fireproof qualities. With a lifespan exceeding 100 years, and having been completely replaced just 3 years ago, this roof promises durability and elegance. Having the longest lifespan of any roofing material, making slate a valuable investment. My math says if all goes well, its good for another 97 years. Even without those perks, just the color and style of the slate roof provides a classy appearance. This American Foursquare is more than a house; it's a piece of history with modern amenities and timeless beauty. Don’t miss the chance to make it your own! Additional information to come.
