George Washington Was President When John Shimer Built This Magnificent Manor House And Gave Name To The Hamlet Of Shimerville. Nurtured, Cherished And Respectfully Enhanced Over The Centuries, This Property Exudes Warmth And Character And Displays A Rich Tapestry Of Authentic Period Details: Six Working Fireplaces, Deep-Silled Windows With Gun Drawers In Eastern Facing Windows And Stunning Iron Work. The True Center-Entry Colonial Opens To Four Large First Floor Rooms Including A Magnificent Keeping Room With The Original Walk-In Fireplace, Beehive Oven And Bread Warmer. Remarkable Random Width Planking, Dignified Crown And Floor Moldings And Chair Rails Throughout The Home Reinforce The Colonial Heritage. A Broad Staircase Leads To A Bright And Generous Library Landing. The Master Suite And Two Additional Bedrooms Are Noteworthy For Their Generous Proportions And Individual Fireplaces. High visibility location would be good for home office.
