Originally built in 1861 for Walter Cobb, director of the local bank, this finely detailed two-story Italianate house was later purchased by merchant Austin T. Foster. Steeped in history, this stately home retains many features from its past, including a wood-burning marble fireplace, ornate brass light fixtures, and a grand central staircase. Recent updates include plumbing and new wiring, as well as a total renovation of the kitchen, which boasts custom two-tone cabinetry, quartz countertops, a spacious center island, wet bar, and two sets of French doors to the side yard and deck. Within the 4,226 sq. ft. of finished living space there are 12 rooms, including a formal living room, formal dining room, den/library with built-in shelves, and primary bedroom with en suite ¾ bath on the main floor. Each side of the second level offers 2 spacious bedrooms with Jack and Jill ¾ baths. Another ¾ bath at the top of the stairs has access to the former maid’s quarters, consisting of approximately 1,000 sq. ft. awaiting your ideas for finishing. The attached garage offers a plethora of storage on 2 levels. Standing tall and proud on 1.29 acres, this house is surrounded by a variety of lush plant life, lawn areas, and privacy hedges. This in-town property offers a variety of possibilities, from a bed & breakfast to Airbnb rentals, or for those seeking a large home with an interesting story, you’ll want to see this truly special home.
