The architecture and grandeur of this monumentally scaled "Anders Rhoads" house is evident as you are greeted by two pair of soaring columns supporting a central portico and sweeping balcony, and the imposing mass of the house is accented with semi-hexagonal bay windows and side porte-cochers (horse carriage passage way.) The house remained in the hands of the original family for over 70 years, ensuring the preservation of the original layout and exquisite details, including six leaded glass windows, one of which is over 9 foot tall! Entering this home by way of its grand entrance on its brick porch with tray ceilings, you arrive in the double door vestibule which leads you right into the home's "parlor". This front facing room boasts two smaller columns welcoming you into the room, as well as the original fireplace. In the next room, you have a bay window with seating that once overlooked the side garden and a stunning oak staircase with two large leaded stained glass windows. Truly a showstopper of a view from all angles! The large entertainers dining room brings you in with its beautiful built in dining room cabinets, tray ceiling and three stained glass windows. Tucked back in the corner is the original side entrance to the porte-cochers and the side patio which used to be used for deliveries by horse carriages. The kitchen flanks the back of the home with open shelving, industrial sinks and butlers pantry. Plenty of built-in cupboards in this space, along with the back staircase to the second floor. Upstairs you will discover 4 bedrooms on that level along with two large full bathrooms, one with a claw foot tub! Dont miss the access to the screened in back porch off of the 4th bedroom. The primary suite has an entrance to the grand half circle front porch with wood tray ceiling! On the third floor you will find 3 full bedrooms, and one more full bath with claw foot tub as well! This home also has a large unfinished basement with a steam boiler and access to the yard. The large backyard has off street parking as well as gardens and privacy! Follow the brick road where carriages used to pull in, to the small driveway at the front of the home and out to the front of the home. This home is ready for its next owner who has a vision for its beauty and architecture! This home will need extensive exterior work to bring it back to its original lustre and period details. The sellers are aware of the home's needs and have proactively had the home inspected and have shared that in the document section.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
