Property Description
Breathtaking, move in ready, HISTORICAL JEWEL! This 1869 Victorian home, on a lovely double lot along the historic brick street in Fowler! Moses Fowler actually lived here, but it's come a long way since then, while keeping the same "take me back to the simpler days" charm. A couple of the original chandeliers converted from gas to electric remain. The kitchen area boasts an ornate ceiling above the travertine tiled floors and bar area and updated cabinets. Downstairs also hosts a bathroom complete with shower, a den with gas fireplace, which former owner used as their dining room, a back entry breakfast area where light can flood in, and a front "parlor" room complete with removable floor to ceiling shelving system for a television and all your books and pretties. Exquisite hardwood floors in much of the home. The current owners used the center room as their dining room with a gorgeous bay window area as a focal point. Upstairs there are three large bedrooms, one with creative built-ins, and one with a bay window matching the one downstairs. Let's not forget the cozy sitting area, and a dressing room area with a large, mirrored door closet. Check out the show stopper bath, which was completely updated and remodeled by Original Builders. They were able to keep the old school charm, while transforming it into a gorgeous modern space. Outdoors, the carriage house/garage and the wrap around front porch add such striking character to the home, not to mention the lawn full of flowers and trees that are beautiful in all 4 seasons! This is a piece of history, and the copula at the crest of this home commands attention to even more detail and enables a bird's eye view. Just too much to list, so come take a look today!
