About 41 E Church Street

HISTORIC 1870 HOME WITH REMARKABLE CHARACTER Step into a piece of history in this spacious and gracious 5-bedroom, 3-bath home, set on nearly an acre of land. Local history suggests that Theodore Roosevelt was once entertained here, adding an intriguing chapter to the story of this distinctive property. With approximately 3,339 square feet of living space, the home beautifully reflects the architectural elegance of its era, with a subtle French influence, a striking roofline, and multiple gables. The impressive foyer welcomes you through leaded-glass doors, where the sweeping staircase and original stained-glass rosette window create an unforgettable first impression. The formal dining room showcases beautiful original parquet flooring, while the adjoining double living rooms provide an expansive setting for gathering and entertaining. A first-floor laundry and butler's pantry add convenience and functionality. A generously sized bedroom and bathroom are also conveniently located on the first floor. While the bathroom is currently a half bath, the original plumbing remains accessible behind the wall, and the home's historic clawfoot tub is preserved in the carriage house, offering the opportunity to restore this charming feature and make it a full bathroom. Upstairs, three large bedrooms are complimented by two full bathrooms and abundant closet space throughout the hallway. The spacious layout provides both comfortable everyday living and room to host family and guests. When its chilly, get cozy by the fireplaces. There are two wood burning fireplaces. One in the first living room and the other in an upstairs bedroom. The property also includes a remarkable carriage house with four garage spaces, providing exceptional storage, workshop, parking, or potential future use. Thoughtfully planted gardens with a charming playhouse tucked among the landscaping. From its architectural details and original craftsman to its spacious grounds and fascinating connection to the past, this is far more than a house-it is a rare historic home with character, scale, and a story waiting to be continued. Being sold AS IS! Just waiting to be restored!
