Magnificent David A Thatcher home; built in 1883 as a Queen Anne Victorian and then in 1920 went through a major exterior re-conception, transforming to a Colonial Revival. Boasting 13' ceilings and hand carved intricate woodwork by Pullman (railroad car fame) master carpenters; 3 sets of Cherry wood pocket doors, a grand paneled staircase. There are 6 fireplaces in total; 3 functioning gas log and 3 decorative - although they can be plumbed for gas as well. Kitchen is open to family room and looks out on yard as well as an attached greenhouse space. 5 beds on the second level and a full floor plan walk up attic. Lower level is partially finished with a billiard room and office w/ fireplace. Radiator heat and true central air, the best of both worlds.
