The Banker's House offers charm, character and a chance to live in a pleasant neighborhood close to a vibrant downtown. Compare this three bedroom, two full-bath property with its high ceilings, elegant staircase and glowing wood floors against modern townhouses for the same price and it is clear that The Banker's House comes with so much more. The dining room is the earliest section of the house and it is unclear if it was built in this location or moved here; the grander front part of the house ? which was only two stories tall when built ? dates to the 1850's and was built to be the residence of the president of the bank which is right next door. This was a common practice at the time. Later the third floor was added as was the projecting bay window, both in the Victorian style, which was the popular style then. Completely livable in its current state, buyers may wish to upgrade the bathrooms and kitchen right away or over time. The foot print of the kitchen is ample and imagination is the only limit to make it meet contemporary versions of a great cooking/entertaining/working environment. The perfectly sized garden and patio area are tranquil and private. On the second floor a large master bedroom with full bath and adjoining laundry room create a very pleasant suite. In recent years the two remaining bedrooms have been used as a library or family room and a sewing or crafts studio. The option is yours: Do you want to live in a townhouse community requiring transportation to get to activities, or would you prefer easy access to restaurants, shops, government offices and more while enjoying life in handsome surroundings?
