Stately Victorian home built for Civil War Lieutenant and Author Charles C Paige who lived in the home from 1894 until 1917, then occupied by his son Wesley until 1946. Thankfully, unlike many homes of this era not much has changed. The ornate birdseye maple trim, built-ins, rails are all beautifully maintained and fully in-tact (never painted over!) as are many light fixtures and most flooring. This incredible home has seen many uses over the years but now retains its original single family home status and is ready for the continued love and restoration by the next owner. Beautiful new clapboard siding and reclaimed exterior features exude this home's confidence. The traditional exterior Victorian era features are simply gorgeous right down to the wrap-around porch and turret with copper roofed eyebrow windows. With at least 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, formal rooms with fireplaces and a welcoming foyer this home has many possibilities for its future owner including possible expansion into the nearly 1,300 sq ft walk up attic. The detached 2 story carriage house is ready for additional improvements. Surrounded by well preserved and maintained homes of the same Victorian grandeur, but we think this one is extra special! With the rebirth of Franklin Falls and the construction of Mill City White Water Park and the many revitalization projects ongoing within this tiny city now is the time to make this home yours!
