First time offered in 45 years, this grand residence blends timeless architecture with modern comforts. The enclosed wraparound porch, iconic turret, & stunning curb appeal set the tone for what lies within. Step into the stately front foyer, where original oak columns welcome guests & lead into the charming parlor with curved seating benches in the base of the turret & 1 of (4) fireplaces. The other side of the Foyer has a unique study that can be enclosed with 2 large pocket doors that meet at a center column - even comes with your own safe! Perfect for entertaining, the formal dining room is adorned with a 2nd fireplace & multiple sets of pocket doors, allowing for privacy or open flow as desired. The expansive living room, added in the 1930s (along with the attached garage), features leaded glass windows & the 3rd fireplace made of brick. The updated eat-in kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances & space for a cozy breakfast nook. Upstairs, a long hallway connects five spacious bedrooms, a remodeled bathroom with upgraded walk-in shower & a staircase that continues down to the kitchen via a stair lift & another that continues up to the vast 3rd-floor attic. This is more than a home — it's a piece of Emmetsburg history. Schedule your private showing today & experience the grandeur for yourself!
