The Seller is motivated, please bring offers! Step into the refined elegance of this historic three-level home, meticulously crafted by homeowner and designer, the Hon. Lady "B". Nestled in a quiet residential area just 3 miles from the tranquil shores of Lake Erie, this distinguished property exudes English stately home charm at every turn. The Auditor site shows 3 bedrooms; however, the owner indicates 5 bedrooms. (The home was previously a duplex) Boasting over 3000 sq ft of living space, this residence showcases original woodwork and exquisite artisan craftsmanship throughout. Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of traditional Arts & Crafts era oak wood trim and copper hardware, lovingly restored by her Ladyship herself. There are two entrances- my favorite is the welcoming front sunroom with wraparound casement windows. Marvel at the first-floor marble-faced fireplace, flanked by original leaded glass windows, perfect for cozy evenings in the sitting room. Ascend to the second-floor library, complete with another inviting fireplace, or retreat to the charming English cottage-style guest room on the third floor, bathed in natural light from its Palladian window. The heart of this home lies in its stunning 24'x14' vintage kitchen, a haven for culinary enthusiasts, while the outdoor brick patio beckons as a summer sanctuary, offering flowering shrubs, exotic spring bulbs, and expansive garden areas, ideal for the green-thumbed gardener. Accessible via a paved back alley, the two-car garage ensures year-round convenience. Whether seeking a spacious residence or considering a hospitality investment by way of short-term rental or Bed and Breakfast, this property offers unparalleled value. With reasonable taxes and insurance rates in the temperate Great Lakes climate, this is a rare opportunity to embrace authentic craftsmanship and timeless elegance without the threat of wildfires, floods, hurricanes, or excessive heat.
