Property Description

The Hertel Home- Warmth and Charm are met together in this 1893-1894 Victorian built by Alfred & Anna Patrick. The Patrick's were successful farmers east of town. The couple dreamed of living in town & began construction of their beautiful home in 1893. This "Painted Lady" boasts of 7 colors & unique interior and exterior corners (4 distinctive hand-hewn shapes) holds secrets of the past. The wrap-around porch welcomes many passing by friendly conversation. Many of the exterior gingerbread corbels, plinth blocks, bulls eye circle blocks & roof spires were designed and crafted by its latest owners, as well as Architectural Details by Vintage Woodworks who crafted specific pieces. Much attention to details are present today so one gets a taste of the past and the luxury of today's home. The Hallway oak staircase has spoon carvings. During renovations, the owner discovered a treasure hidden in the wall, a 2-inch thick Oak & Maple pocket door on a scissor hinge. The Dining Room is full of character, rich color, rounded corners, all graced by the timeless beauty of the 1900 reproduction Chandelier. Although a formal room at first glance, this room has hosted Pizza parties, High Tea, Passover Meal, as well as Bridal Showers & prayer groups. The interior retains the original subway tile fireplace & ornate hand-carved surround. The formal parlor now known as the living room is decorated with the timeless beauty of the Lincrusta Frieze wall border gracing the soffit. Architectural Corinthian Columns in the doorway of the Den/Parlor mimic the upper column on the fireplace. This parlor is warm and invites you to come in and relax as the beautiful pearlized tin ceiling with gold accents seem to reflect warm and relaxation. A cozy eat-in kitchen with lovely Maple cabinets & new appliances with access to a warm and inviting back porch truly beacons one to a time of getting refreshed at days end. Master Bedroom has a barrel ceiling giving the room an ambience all of its own. The Master Bath has nicely appointed built-in drawers. The sheer elegance of a claw tub for deep soaking and relaxation makes this bathroom a sanctuary place. You're going to love the courtyard with paver patio overlooking the boxwoods & fountain. Huge 2 story garage features 2nd floor workshop with a motorized lift. Don't miss your opportunity to make this amazing one of a kind home yours!!
