One of the most iconic homes in Parkersburg. Located in one of the most sought after historic district neighborhoods in downtown PKB. This home is dripping with style and attitude. With the exterior appearance offering instant curb appeal with the newly replaced duracast 20 ft. columns and newly poured concrete capitals. Seeing the house at night is highly recommended. Just look for the house with "jazz hands." Entering the 17x12 foyer never gets old and is impressive every time. You see the perfectly appointed living room/library to the left and the large dining room to the right. Straight ahead is a gorgeous staircase leading to the equally gorgeous second floor landing/den leading to the balcony. Continue up to the third floor where you'll be greeted by a 3rd floor apartment like retreat. With a large sitting room, master bedroom, walk-in closet and private bath this is a master retreat not many houses in the area offer. You can get away from it all by simply climbing the stairs. Feel free to take a minute or ten to linger on the 3rd floor landing and admire the view of the sunset or of the Memorial Bridge. Breathtaking! The home boasts storage galore. The 1500 sq. ft. partially finished basement (not included in total square footage) along with the 1200 sq. ft. three car garage and the basement under the garage, you will be hard pressed to run out of storage for your different holiday decorations. Speaking of decorating for the holidays, the home has been featured throughout the years in different newspaper clippings. The home features 7 working gas fireplaces and many of the features remain from the day it was built. Curved moldings, original hardwood floors, newly reglazed original Windows, 10 ft ceilings (including the third floor) and built-ins the home is a neo-classic that held up well through the 70's and 80's and didn't lose many original features. Within walking distance to the re-emerging Downtown PKB and arts district, an easy bike ride to work downtown and 5 minutes to shopping and dining. The house is tucked away in a city neighborhood with easy access to the hustle bustle of Grand Central. Recent improvements include HVAC (07-08), plumbing, newer cherry cabinets (owners are currently updating with granite and new tile) and a private back yard. Beautifully landscaped in the style of a formal English garden with full beds of lilies, roses, hostas, Pink dogwoods and Magnolia trees. A highly respected craftsman in restoring homes in the Mid Ohio Valley said, "I don't just like a home just because it's old. I like it because it's well built."
