About this home
Seller is MOTIVATED, Steal this Historic Beauty. Built in 1889 with dense old southern pine. The original floors are in every room with the exception of kitchen and baths. Framing the floors is 9 inch hand milled baseboards and 5 inch hand milled casing, all solid wood. The dining room has six foot tall wainscoting panels detailed in trim. The dense old southern pine was disappearing by the early 1900's and rare by the 1920's. The woodworking is one of the many treasures of this home.
Look at the 28 panels of glass in the main area, you'll see that the majority of the panels still have the original handmade glass. In the 1800's glass was handmade and had slight waves, thereby referred to as wavy glass. Take a moment to find the wavy glass panels. A fun fact, this home was built at the time Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota all became states. The Oklahoma land rush was taking place during the building of this home. So many homes rich in history have been rehabbed to modern decorating trends. This home has been updated mechanicals, yet still keeps it late 1800's look and feel... it's original personality. Hopefully the new family are stewards, helping to preserve this home for the next 136 years.
Originally it was part of a much larger estate. It still retains 2.7 acres, with the home sitting on a hill overlooking Mirror Lake. The property runs into lake, you own lake frontage. There's a big wrap around porch with a view of the water. Add a big vegetable garden, a few chickens and azaleas for historic flavor. There is a 4 stall carport that was probably for carriages and horse stalls at one time. For fun checkout the post supporting the carport roof. Attached too the carport is a small barn that appears to have had tack room and hayloft above. The barn needs some work, it has potential. I despise the word potential. Two dollars will buy you a lottery ticket with lots of potential. When I say the barn has potential, it will take time and money to convert it to a guest apartment, office or whatever you choose. It would be a shame to lose this bit of history. Look to the east of the barn and you will see an old metal structure that was a water tower. I'm thinking awesome tree house for the kids. We can take you below the house to see the strength of the structure and the old heating stove, the hard rough cut dimensional lumber, the piers and the craftsmanship of the construction. The home is solid. There's so much going on here, be prepared to spend some time and absorb the history, uniqueness and beauty of this property. Look at the price per sq ft, we are less than cookie cutter homes on tiny lots. If you are looking for unique, one of a kind, a special home you got to see it. Best of all, you are going to get a deal.
