This one-of-a-kind historic 3-story gem is on the market for the first time in 55 years! Nestled on acreage, this spacious 5-bedroom, 1 full, and 2 half-bathroom home was built in 1925 as a part of the C.F. Smith Estate. The home boasts high ceilings, wet plaster walls, original built-ins, and leaded glass French doors adding to its timeless elegance. Hardwood floors stretch across the living room, dining room, and bedrooms. The kitchen features a novel layout with a bench seating breakfast nook and butler's pantry with exterior access. Unwind on the enclosed front porch or covered back deck overlooking the mature wooded landscape and wildlife visitors. Each corner of this home has its own story– from the mahogany-paneled library with a coffered ceiling and built-ins with leaded glass doors, to the "music room" tucked within the living room, with an original Art Deco pendant light. The 1950s addition features a family room with rich wood panels, three walls of floor to ceiling windows, a glass-enclosed peninsula-style fireplace, and a door wall to the back deck. The beautiful wood staircase in the center of the home leads to the second level. The second level features four bedrooms and a vibrant mint green ceramic tiled full bathroom. Each bedroom holds its own character, including one bedroom with access to a flat roof patio among the trees. The third floor functions as a fifth bedroom or recreation room providing endless possibilities with the gabled ceiling and dormer windows naturally lighting the space. Outside, the property offers privacy with mature towering trees, and a two-car detached garage. Located within a 5 min drive to Downtown Farmington, Longacre Elementary, Power Middle School, and Farmington High, with quick access to M-5, I-696, and I-275, this property is situated for convenience. Make your move to this special property and create memories in a home where every detail tells a story.
