Overview

Description

Full of original character and thoughtful updates, the historic Rickman Home, circa 1878 sits on a large wooded lot convenient to downtown in the charming Stuart District. This impeccably preserved example of asymmetrical italianate design offers 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 full, fully remodeled bathrooms, a modern kitchen with updated cabinets and granite countertops and loads of character. From the moment you enter the grand foyer with its tall ceilings, impeccably preserved original woodwork and grand staircase open to the main floor living dining and parlor rooms, you'll appreciate the craftsmanship and meticulously preserved historic charm. The original butlers pantry is fabulous and functional and the upstairs sleeping porch creates a four-season tree-top retreat. The original carriage house garage stands in the deep 215' lot, all adjacent to the Woodward school playground. A home with this history and quality is a rare find! Come see it today!
