Stately 1899 Gambrel Victorian on a generous corner lot at Lakewood Road and just a stone's throw to Crystal Lake beach. Welcoming entry door with original leaded glass sidelights leads to elegant interiors including tiled foyer for greetings & beamed ceiling LR with french doors to heated south facing sunroom, which in turn leads to a large, open brick patio the wraps around to a covered, trellised patio leading back into the DR. Three lovingly maintained fireplaces offer unique & original tile details and mantle pieces. Main rooms feature original oversized 8 over 8 sash windows. Stairs lead up to 4 BRs on the 2nd floor with an optional detour through a unique 'sleeping porch' connecting to a corner BR. The renovated 3rd floor includes 2 more BRs and plenty of storage. This home needs cosmetic work to both interior and exterior, but its worth every effort to restore this family home to showcase its unique charm.
