Built to be one of Potwin Place's very finest homes on a large (over a half acre) corner lot where peacocks once strolled, this 1886 classic is a treasure chest of pluses. Airy porches, large spaces, high ceilings, plaster moldings, fabulous woodwork, an oriol, stained glass, beautiful flooring, interesting fireplaces, and a BARN. Major infrastructure updates in the last four years were carefully made with respect for the integrity of the house including an ALL NEW kitchen, almost all new wiring, all new HVAC, and 2 written pages of more-more-more available on request. Fun note: On March 15, 1887, original homeowner Judge Julius T. Clark hosted a committee in this home to initiate the proceedings to incorporate Potwin Place as an independent third-class city. Mrs. Clark hosted the founding of a women's literature club here, as well. Listed as a contributing influence in the National Historic Register District that is Potwin Place, there are historic preservation tax credits available for future projects.
