It’s not often we have the opportunity to sell a home of this quality! It would literally cost a fortune to duplicate this house today. A custom home builder originally built this home as his private residence and he didn’t cut any corners in the construction process. Located in the town of Warsaw, in a quiet and convenient residential area, this is one of the premier properties in town. It is truly a home built to last through generations! The “skeleton” of the house is as strong as you’ll find… larger joists, closer on-center; solid brick; slate roof, etc. Some of the interior features include high ceilings, plaster walls, hardwood floors, beautiful custom woodwork - chair rail, crown mouldings, solid wood wainscoting, solid wood raised panel doors, custom-built cherry cabinetry in kitchen, etc. The door hardware is flush-mount solid brass and “period appropriate”. This home would look completely natural sitting in Colonial Williamsburg. The bathrooms feature full-ceramic tile surrounds. There is the potential for (either in current finished, unfinished, or partially finished areas of the home) 7+ Bedrooms. Several bedrooms are HUGE and could accommodate multiple children in each room. There are endless possibilities for this home! What a super place for entertaining, both inside and outside. The house is situated on 3 large, beautifully landscaped lots with plenty of room for expansion, gardening, and outdoor entertaining. We really can’t say enough about, or adequately describe, the beauty and potential of this home and property. Someone is going to be the proud owner of a “showplace”. Plan to be here to make it yours!
