An astonishing 150 Years ago, this magnificent Italianate-Style mansion was constructed using only the best limestone, brick, hardwoods, slate, and materials available. The builder, local Architect Thomas N. Stevens, clearly knew this home would stand the test of time. Preservation is at the forefront of this ready for renovation, dream home. To ensure the historic integrity of the renovation, Indiana Landmarks has a Preservation and Conservation Easement on the property. This invaluable resource, with preservation guidelines, is perfect for the buyer passionate about maintaining and preserving the integrity of this landmark home while returning the interior to its stately grandeur. The breathtaking grand foyer boasts a 24 ft. ceiling, sweeping staircase, and original wainscoting. 12 foot ceilings throughout most of the main floor, original hardwood floors, woodwork preserved throughout the decades, and interior shutters. Ornate crystal chandeliers and wall sconces create an ambiance that takes you back in time. Many flex space options for 5/6 bedrooms and/or home offices on the second and third floors, summer kitchen, gathering spaces, private indoor and outdoor sitting areas. Boilers/Furnace serviced regularly, original slate roof serviced 09/21 by slate roof specialist, chimney tuckpointed 08/21, and shingle roof new in 2021. If you love history and entertaining guests, this dream home has potential as a Bed and Breakfast. Imagine the conversations..."This home was built 6 years prior to Thomas Edison filing his first patent for the lightbulb. In 1872 Yellowstone became the world's first National Park, and Ulysses S. Grant was our 18th President!"
