Hillcrest home is truly a Wolseley Landmark built in 1903, one of a few estate homes that are found in this little Historic town. Location is key , situated across the street from "Fairy Lake" and the spillway. Just under an acre (.89) with 280 ft of frontage and 150 deep. One of your favorite places with be in the Gazebo looking onward to the creek that is on the south side of the extensive property. From the front deck, the view provides the spillway fountain, lake and swinging bridge. Double garage was built in 1960. Castle comes to mind when seeing the property. Unique design inside and out. Inside the front door an impressive staircase and original hardwood floors give the home warmth along with the solid wood front door. The large living room hosts a wood burning fireplace and turret that make this area distinctive. Fine dining room just off the kitchen and a den /parlour complete the original setting. Off the back of the home , a large more modern style kitchen with lots of cabinets and counter space. There is another dining room with views to the south. A " servant's " staircase takes you to the 2nd floor from off the dining /kitchen to 2 of the 5 bedrooms . The other staircase leads to the other side of the home with 3 bedrooms , a 4 piece bath and a large closet. You are able to walk through the entire 2nd floor but at one time was separated by a door for privacy. The Executive Master bedroom has class and style with a wood fireplace and turret. There was some water damage to the ceiling and wall to this room and in the linen closet from years ago. Basement is partially finished with a rec area, a 3 piece bath, a den/office room and laundry room in the mechanical area. Also Lots of storage with shelving. 2016 New boiler. Shingle year unknown. This home is a "GEM" with good bones, but will need some restoring and some loving hands to get it back to it's prime. Would make a great B & B. Are you the right person for this home? (id:27476)
