About this rental

LOCATION! DOWNTOWN VIEWS! HISTORIC ELEGANCE! And plenty of room to spread out. This magnificent home with almost 4,000 square feet offers FOUR LIVING AREAS spread across three floors. Downtown views from the wraparound balcony and third floor finished attic. Elevated from street level, the home has a stately presence, nestled amongst mature trees. The wraparound front porch and duplicate balcony above are wonderful outdoor spaces to take in this vibrant historic district. Marvel at the architectural details of the gracious foyer before passing through original glass pocket doors to the formal dining room and on to the large island kitchen, the heart of this home, well-designed for entertaining on a grand scale. (Large mud room/pantry/laundry room off kitchen.) Beautiful fireplaces grace both the formal living and dining rooms, with a third in the upstairs living area. The foyer is duplicated on the second floor, with the grand staircase continuing on to the third floor. All bedrooms are upstairs, but the additional second floor living area with fireplace offers a unique separation of the bedrooms for privacy. A club bath with shower services two of the larger bedrooms, while the primary bedroom has a large bath with antique tub AND separate walk-in shower. The library/study on the first floor is a true treasure, with private outside access. The smaller bedroom on the second floor with views into the tree canopy could be a great home workspace OR nursery! Third floor finished attic space is expansive, with views of downtown. Game room, kids retreat, possibilities abound! Large glass sunroom/greenhouse on side balcony! Detached quarters need refurbishment, but offers great long or short-term rental opportunity, or studio workspace. Your holiday gatherings will never be the same again! Directly across the street from the historic Koehler House, undergoing extensive, "no expense spared" renovation.
