Description

Make an offer on this historic home overlooking Peddie Lake, built in 1900, at the foot of the bridge. This home with its hand-carved wood panels and clever use of space, exemplifies the emerging Arts and Crafts movement in house design. The outside presents a charming appearance with its balconies, gables, and dormer windows. Inside, the house is a marvel of ingenuity and workmanship. Of special interest in the living room is diamond light windows and carved flowered moldings. Every inch of space has been utilized so that there is plenty of room for everything. It is full of quaint corners, two closed fireplaces, some stenciled walls, hand-carved mantels, paneled doors, and the original wide pumpkin pine floors in the dining room on the first level.A wonderful heated sun porch off the family room has a view of the lake where one can sit with your coffee and see 150 feet of lake view. There is a barn/ wagon house with workshop. Roof and furnace are almost brand new.As Is-Owner NEGOTIABLE ON PRICE
