Description

Back on the market due to buyer financing falling through. Once in a lifetime opportunity to own this historic 1887 20-room Victorian mansion walking distance to historic downtown Mason, schools, and quick access to highways. This 130 year old home has been lovingly maintained and needs another thoughtful caretaker to finish restorations. Original details abound with unpainted woodwork, stained glass windows, original lighting including working gas lamps, 3 sets of pocket doors with original hardware, original bathroom tile imported from England, two marble fireplaces, and original wallpaper in some areas. On the first floor, the home features a grand foyer, parlor, large living room, full bar, original full bathroom with clawfoot tub, library, large dining room, and the kitchen features a SubZero fridge, Elmira Stoveworks gas range, and butlers pantry. The second floor features 3-4 large bedrooms with large closets and 2 full baths. Recent updates include new oak hardwood floors (2021), first floor electric washer and dryer hookups (2021) house roof (2017), garage roof (2020), boiler (2015), new faucets in kitchen and 1st floor bathroom (2022). The basement is ready to finish as a 1 or 2 bedroom/1.5 bath apartment with a full sized kitchen (hidden behind a bookcase!) All supplies are included in the price of sale. See attachment for full list. The large lot has thoughtful landscaping with blooms from spring to fall. Highlights include peonies, an assortment of hostas, hibiscus, hydrangeas, tulips, lilac, roses, and other flowering bushes and trees. Seller planted weeping cherry and two apple trees last spring. Opportunities are endless with this property. Keep the whole house for you, maintain the first and second floors as a single family home and rent out the basement apartment, convert back to a B&B (was used as one in 2017-2018). Attic is large enough to be converted into another living space/apartment. Property is currently zoned as multi-family.
