Property Description
This was home to the late Irwin Richard. Mr Richard, established the Red Hill Broom Works factory that stood at the corner of sixth and Main Street where the current Turkey Hill stands.
That corner was also home to the Red Hill Hotel which was also acquired at the same time.
Mr. Richards home was alongside other prominent homes that including to the left and right, the Kline family who built the original cigar factory in Red Hill.
It's been determined that to build this home today, the cost would range from $1.8 million to $ 2.2 million. The stone alone would cost approximately $1.2 million dollars.
This home is full of history and charm and where else could you buy a $1.8 million dollar home for nearly 1/3 of the cost.
Facing the front of the house, you see the very large front porch, wonderful for sitting and sipping a cup of tea or beverage. Entering the front door, we'll see the stained glass window in the transit that was custom made with the address and back-lit by the hallway light in the foyer. The beautiful, detailed staircase extends up from the foyer. To the left the main living room area, to the right the den or parlor which both have the beautiful original woodwork and wide windowsills. You can head straight down the hallway that leads to the dining room and kitchen areas. The large dining area boasts a vintage porcelain wood stove and pocket doors leading to the parlor area. The kitchen has a pressed its tin ceiling and extra wide stainless oven, an island with stainless steel dishwasher and extra cabinet space. In the wall is a built-in pantry. Off the kitchen is the mudroom and off of that a full bathroom and utility closet.
As you head upstairs, the hall chandelier lights your way to three bedrooms, a laundry room and full bath. The large master bedroom offers the original wall sconces, plenty of natural light and ceiling fan. The second bedroom, again with its original sconces and the third with a walk-in closet. The extra large laundry room offers two bump out windows for plants and utility sink, linen closet and plenty of additional room for storage, craft or sewing room. The third floor offers three more rooms. Two bedrooms and an open area for office, play or additional bedroom. The home has an updated electrical system, plumbing replaced with a PEX manifold system. All of the original floors have been refinished and just adds to this home's stunning beauty.
Outside the home, there has been a new sidewalk and patio installed. A stone driveway that leads right up to the back patio and garage/barn with two extra wide bays and a second story that could be used as a studio, gallery or entertaining space. This all sits on a half acre lot with plenty of parking. This house is looking for that special someone to make it a home. Is that you?
