Take a look at this amazing Historic home in an awesome Franklin Township location right near the ski hill. The outside has had extensive work finished to maintain the charm and character of the original builder, Mr. Slattery. The home is loaded with original woodworking and charm. The inside is ready to have some updates and finishing work done to make this a complete masterpiece. The home was built in 1904 by Mr. Slattery, a mercantile owner. Through his mercantile connections, he was able to build this home with only the best of high end materials. This is apparent as you tour the home. leaded glass, oak flooring, leather stamped wall covering in areas, and Italian tile are examples. The main floor is complete with a kitchen (needs to be rebuilt), butler's pantry and butler's staircase, living room, parlor, and formal dining room. The entrance hall includes stained glass windows, a piano, amazing woodworking, and a grand staircase going upstairs. Upstairs you will find 4 bedrooms and a full bathroom. Off of the master bedroom is a walk-in closet with a walkout open porch that gives you an awesome view of the Canal. The attic is open and finished with huge potential for this to be a family room or more bedrooms. Located next to the ski hill and just around the corner from the bridge in Hancock. A few key notes about the exterior work that has been done: The porch is made from cypress from the American south. The spindles and handrails were recreated as they had been done originally. The cedar boards on the house were painted before they were placed on the house with a lifetime guarantee paint that will never peal. The roof was replaced with a lifetime shingle. The side roofs are copper and designed specifically for this home. A great option for a single family home. Another potential option could be a short term rental with the ski hill next door, and the snowmobile trail nearby.
