Property Description
This "grand old lady, "was built in the early 1800s and is beyond the glory years ? yearning for repair. It sits atop 1.58 acres and the rear section is wooded where wildlife can often find solace. Norristown courthouse's earliest record of ownership puts its origins in the 1860s but earlier occupants ran a thriving horse farm in the Civil War years. Partial ledger pages, doubling as insulation, were discovered in walls in a room above the original kitchen which is accessible by ladder only. There is a windmill atop a well in a pump house and in days before running water the occupants rigged a chute, powered by their windmill to carry well water to a cistern over the kitchen sink. It remains untouched. A very airy two ? story barn complete with original horse trough, sits on the property and with the right rehab could be functional again. The interior of the house is remarkable through the eyes of someone with the vision of a restored estate. Throughout, the 18 rooms are unique, inlaid ceiling fixtures featuring gargoyles, a one ? of -a ? kind double front door with stained and beveled glass, intricate woodwork and interior doors, original brick walls, a 30ft long room with a fireplace that accommodates a tournament size pool table, charming tri-windowed alcoves in both the living room and master bedroom and a footed tub in need of reglazing. Hopefully someone with vision, compassion for what is old and worn and the means to transform her to her former glory, will. This is truly a diamond in the rough.
