Description
Character abounds in this gorgeous corner property designed by John T Windrim for the Girard Trust in 1892. Highlighting the year the home was built, the escutcheon above the door on Poplar street reads MDCCCXCII, which is 1892 in Roman numerals. Upon entering the home through the giant carved wood front door, you will immediately be wowed by the original wood floors and the influx of natural light due to the abundance of windows throughout the entire house. Even the basement is bright! The elegant 3-story stairwell is a show-stopper and includes original railings and is illuminated by a skylight creating a distinctive appearance throughout the day. Not only does this home exude character from every corner, but it also includes modern updates such as dual-zone air conditioning throughout the entire property and two heating systems: original hot water radiators plus a heat pump with forced air. The kitchen appliances were installed in 2017, the furnace was replaced in 2017, the peaked roof was replaced in 2019 with stamped metal, and in 2016 new asphalt was installed on the flat roof. For the tree lover, the trees out front are two Kwanzan Cherries (beautiful pink flowers in late April) and a flowering Purple-leafed pear. There+GGs a young Hornbeam tree in the backyard. This house is truly one of a kind and the location can't be beaten!
