About this home
Own a landmark piece of Evansville history with this 1876 Victorian estate. Charles Hartmetz, the founder of Sterling Brewery, built this majestic residence, which is listed on the National Historic Registry and carries a legacy born from a legendary coin toss between brothers. Radiant with classic charm, the home features warm buttery yellow siding and a magnificent radiused front porch that sweeps into a dramatic gazebo like veranda supported by a stately white colonnade and crowned with a sophisticated bronzed metal roof. This property offers 3,466 square feet of living space. The main floor features a seamless flow through a foyer, study, formal dining room, and a living room centered by a ventless gas fireplace, while the kitchen boasts an elegant arched window and an adjacent tiled breakfast nook. Hardwood floors guide you throughout the home to a recently remodeled full bathroom and two separate staircases providing access to the upper level. The second floor houses three bedrooms, including a primary ensuite featuring original pocket doors, a trey ceiling with lighting, a whirlpool bath, and double doors opening to a private balcony awaiting your final finishes. While two bedrooms await completion, a pull down attic offers potential for a third level of living space. Recent updates include the installation of underground electrical, wiring, and ductwork, along with replacement windows, 9 of which were installed within the last two years. The detached garage, originally the carriage house for horses and the stableman's living quarters, features a roof and decking updated within the past two years and offers space to add a kitchen and bathroom for a potential guest suite. Situated on a corner lot this home blends rich character with modern potential. This historic treasure is a rare opportunity to apply some TLC and complete a masterpiece in the heart of the city....
