A truly stunning Victorian Lady, this former Governor Bowen's home is waiting for new owners to call her their home. This remarkable home has been lovingly cared for over the years with its magnificent character highly respected and remaining. The current owners have updated the kitchen with beautiful Amish made custom cabinetry, granite counter tops, heated ceramic tile flooring, and a built in wall cabinet with expandable kitchen table creating a truly welcoming kitchen. A newly rebuilt gas fireplace is a welcoming addition to the kitchen area. They also added a spacious wine cellar in a basement and the most beautiful 4 foot deep pond which is surrounded by a fantastic collection of perennials. The pond has a flowing waterfall and is operational all years long. Original hardwood floors in each room have been designed and crafted with remarkable inlaid patterns. Each doorway has intricate decorative spindle work, many ceilings are wooden with carved panels, high ceilings, carved woodwork, archways, and of course, chandeliers.
