The Grand Root Mansion, a Queen Anne Victorian home built in 1892, is a rare historic gem in downtown Crown Point. Offered to the public for the first time in 130 years, this meticulously restored property blends Victorian charm with modern conveniences. The home features original wood-beam ceilings, intricate crown molding, custom fretwork, and a grand fireplace with granite surround. The fully restored oak, maple, walnut, and cherry parquet floors, along with original doors and copper hardware, add to its authentic appeal. The kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring Amish-made cabinetry, granite countertops, a copper farmhouse sink, and state-of-the-art appliances, including a smart refrigerator with AI technology. The basement has been transformed into an inviting living space with preserved stone walls, hardwood floors, and a cozy nook perfect for a wine room. The second level boasts a luxurious Main Suite with a private sitting room, balcony, and spa-like bath, while the expansive finished attic offers 20-foot cathedral ceilings, a massive skylight, and breathtaking views from the Queen Anne turret. Modern updates include a new HVAC system, digital boiler, heat pump, Bluetooth thermostat, updated electrical and plumbing, and a three-car garage with an upper loft area. Built by David A. Root, founder of Root Lumber Co., this home is a piece of living history, reflecting the grandeur of its era while providing the comfort and amenities of today.
