Property Description

This an historic home, built in 1900. Originally it was the home of John Drumheller ("loom-fixer" for the Woolen Mills) and his wife Alice & their 6 children. This neighborhood is now in an Historic Conservation District. This designation provides some protection for the historic character of the neighborhood without placing undue burdens on homeowners who want to renovate. See attch'd docs & the media links for a Woolen Mills history (plate #32 is this home). This property has been renovated and updated over the years but retains much of it's original charm with its pine flooring, tall baseboard trim, classic stair rail, and hexagonal floor tile in the baths, including the "flower" tile arrangement in the upper bath. Inside the kitchen has soapstone counters and modern appliances, updated light fixtures, on demand water heater and central HVAC. The living area has been opened up to the dining and kitchen areas to make a more modern feel. A 3rd BR (or ofc) has been finished out in the walk out basement with plenty of workshop space and a laundry area. Enjoy the view of rain gardens installed in the backyard from the deck or patio. Walk 2 blocks to Riverside Park & trails, 3 blocks to the Wool Factory, 1 mile to the Downtown Mall.
