    What's special

    Koi pondBeautiful delft tilesBrick exteriorOrnate gardensBrick walkwaysBeamed ceilingDecorative moldings
    Very unusual historic home in the heart of Middletown. Just blocks from new YMCA. Home was assembled in 1944-1948 from parts of multiple historic homes being demolished to make room for post war housing. The front facade and much of the brick exterior were transported and re-assembled on site, proudly boasting 1736 construction. Add various plank floors, beamed ceiling, fireplaces with Mable surround or beautiful delft tiles, decorative moldings, beautiful wood doors.... You may think you can visualize how beautiful this house is, but it will still surprise you, now add recent kitchen, a first floor primary suite with spacious en-suite, large closets and room for washer and dryer. Wait there's more!! Recent HVAC (2 zone) a large Amish built workshop shed , a carriage house/pool house with full bathroom. Ornate gardens and landscaping, a koi pond, brick walkways encased with privacy fencing , yet walking distance to schools, stores , dining and entertainment. A Must see to imagine. Book your private tour as soon as possible.
