Property Description

It has been almost six decades since this historic home on Summit Hill has been available. It was meticulously cared for by a local historian, who preserved the classic character and original architectural details throughout the home.
This grand home sits on a large park-like lot and includes a second lot with 50' of lake shore,
There is an inviting front porch that leads to the 3-season sunroom, and the front hall. The classic foyer and hall, feature solid oak panel doors, and wainscotting, solid oak wood flooring, 9' ceilings, a parlor that could be used for sitting or a desk, a gorgeous open staircase, with oak rails, posts, treads and risers, a bay window and a curved overlook at the top - it was perfect for the bride's entrance at family weddings.
The original floor grates from the gravity furnace are still in place throughout the home.
The living room has been converted into a library, with built in bookcases, and 2 sets of French solid oak paneled pocket doors, and glass French doors to the 3-season porch.
