Take a step back in time upon entering this grand 1865 home in the heart of Martinsville. Locals remember this home sitting untouched for many years and have enjoyed watching it come back to life. The owners have gone to great lengths over the past 7 yrs to restore, not gut and rehab, but to lovingly bring it back to its original glory while adding today's modern conveniences and amenities. Each board of the original siding (yes original!) has been sanded by hand before applying quality paint. Replicated wooden spindles on the porch were hand turned by the Amish. Exterior features new concrete sidewalks, steps and porch as well as new retaining wall & brick on foundation. All original details inside are refurbished such as the original wood floors, fireplace mantels/tile w new gas lines, all original hardware refinished. Beautiful curved staircase, original doors & trim. New insulated wood windows w original rope and pulleys intact! Beautiful open concept kitchen with top notch modern amenities including custom Amish cabinets topped with granite. Gorgeous copper sink, back splash from Turkey above the stove. Lg living & dining areas with a huge bifold door. Two primary bedrooms, one on the main and one upper with a total of 4bd, 3.5 ba. Full ht unfinished attic space on the third level. 2 car garage w epoxy floor and loft. Basement has new concrete floor with perimeter drain and encapsulated crawl. Of course all new mechanicals throughout...electric, plumbing including new drain line to the city main, 2 HVAC. New drywall, blown-in insulation, new roof, gutters and mortared and sealed chimney. Nothing left undone in this solid historical home that has been meticulously brought back to life. Truly one of a kind with all the high quality care and detail that went into it. With its proximity to downtown and easy access to I69 & SR67, this could also be a perfect Bed & Breakfast, VRBO, Air B&B, event center or a nice Tea Room or Wine Bar. Lots of potential...dream it!
