Built in 1916, this historical executive mansion is one of the few remaining iconic representations of Merrill's history and has been occupied by several prestigious names throughout Merrill's history. According to documentation compiled by the Merrill Historical Society, this was originally the site of a stately Victorian built by P. B. Champagne in the 1800's The current home as it stands now in the Prairie style was either a completely new build or extensive remodel by AJ Stange. It later became residence to John O'Day, H. F. Guenzel and recently Stuart & Arline Smith. The home's character has been maintained impeccably with top quality materials used throughout. The 3 stories are compiled of 6 large bedrooms, 3 Full Baths, 2 Half Baths, 5 wood Fireplaces, Lacanche gas range from France, hidden gems like a dumbwaiter hidden in under the bench in the Living Room to bring up firewood from the basement, a hidden liquor cabinet in the dining room & a hidden safe in the master bedroom.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
