A rare opportunity! Imagine owning a home with old world charm and elegance, with a bit of history as well. This amazing 2bd/2bth unit is housed in the stately historic mansion and summer home of henry ward beecher who was once doubed "the most famous man in america". Henry beecher was a preacher and abolitionist during the latter part of the 19th century. You might know his sister harriet beecher stowe who wrote uncle tom's cabin. This first floor unit is absolutely beautiful. Enter through the wood paneled common area with sweeping staircase and stain glass window. Then open the door to a fabulous floor to ceiling library paneled living/dining room combination, where gleaming wide board floors and a large wood carved working fireplace grab your attention. As do the double leaded glass doors that open onto a private deck with a beautiful view. The galley kitchen is reminiscent of a english butlers pantry and is well equipped w/ge ss appliances, walnut countertops and thomasville cabinets w/plenty of storage. The two bedrooms have ww carpet, large closets, brick walls and beautiful decorative ceilings. One can be used as an office/den with sliding glass anderson doors onto the deck. One marble bath w/walk-in glass shower w/rain head and plenty of storage. Another bath includes a clawfoot slipper tub, marble floor and decorative walls. Two parking spots right in front of the mansion. You will not see a unit like this everyday and it will not last on the market.
