About this House

This home is one of Coldwaters finest architectural examples. Absolutely beautiful and yet so family friendly. Several plate-glass windows are crowned with arched transoms made of stained glass designed in New York by Louis Tiffany firm. The interior consists of large rooms with 12 foot ceilings, an open staircase with hand carved newel posts and spindles. Beautiful cherry woodwork and three fireplaces faced with colorful tile and carved woodwork. The furnace was replaced in 2006, the hot water heater in 2005. All of the wood floors were redone and all the carpeting replaced in 2004. The absolutely huge back yard (aprox. 2 acres) is completely fenced in with high privacy fencing. The inground pool has a new seperate dedicated pool fence with saftey latches. The pool liner and heater were replaced in 2006. There is a new composite back deck, to enjoy the pool and back yard. There is also a new side deck that was just put on this year. Everythings done, call to make it yours and move in.
