The Robinson House, circa 1750’s, has been placed on the National Register of Historic Properties by the US Department of the Interior. This brick and wood frame structure is truly a time capsule of a bye gone era that used to take a different approach to quality of construction, choice of material, and attention to detail that is rarely seen in todays developed society. As you pull up with your horse and buggy, you will be able to tie off onto the hitching post that still remains to this day. Brick paver sidewalk leads to more brick on the slightly elevated front patio leading to main entrance. Across the threshold you will be greeted by a traditional foyer with access to the main living space and other rooms on the first floor. Living room with deep window sills, wrapped in fluted trim with rosette corners and capped off with a wood burning fire place and ornate mantel. Dining room with more detailed trim, chair railing and deep sill window openings. Family room off the dining area with cherry red painted trim and access to driveway side of the structure. Kitchen area is off the rear of the home and offers a blank canvas for one to create their ultimate food preparation and entertainment space.

Basement is accessed in this area, and has an opposite side bilco door access point. Up the steps to the second level, you will be greeted by a split that leads to a den/home office/nursery type space and then five other bedrooms of ample dimensions. The main bedroom and secondary bedrooms are each adorned with fireplaces and a wall of raised panels in the main space. Full bathroom with claw foot tub and wainscoting services this level.
