Discover a property that truly stands apart from the rest—a magnificent historical mansion that radiates an abundance of character, charm, warmth, and uniqueness. This extraordinary estate is far from your typical home. Constructed in the year 1895, it presents itself as a breathtaking embodiment of history and architectural beauty. The mansion sprawls across a generous 4,800 square feet and is positioned on a substantial corner lot, accompanied by a modern four-car garage. Throughout its celebrated history, it has been cherished and maintained by merely four owners, each contributing to its rich narrative and preservation.
This grand residence unfolds over three meticulously finished levels, plus a full basement, offering an expansive living space filled with potential. It features four bedrooms and encompasses a total of 18 rooms, each remarkably more spacious than the standard dimensions found in contemporary homes. The estate’s rooms boast widths of at least 20 feet, complemented by soaring 9-foot ceilings on the first floor, creating an open and airy atmosphere throughout.
The mansion’s unique qualities and historical significance were highlighted in an episode of HGTV’s “If These Walls Could Talk,” showcasing the captivating stories and exceptional features that make this property one-of-a-kind. Among its many intriguing aspects is the historically significant wallpaper in several rooms, which was once insured for $200,000 by a previous owner.
The interior offers an array of distinctive spaces, including a solarium, a grand wood-paneled foyer, a coachman’s room, a formal sitting room adjacent to the master bedroom, a third-story sun porch, and a recreational room so vast it historically served as a ballroom. These versatile spaces open up endless possibilities for use by future owners, making the mansion an ideal candidate for continuing as a private residence or transforming into an exceptional bed & breakfast or AirBnB investment.
While the new owners may wish to introduce modern touches to certain areas, the property has been priced attractively low per square foot to allow for such enhancements. Among its other remarkable features are six fireplaces, two offices, impressive 10-inch high baseboards, double-stacked crown moldings, a variety of hardwood trims, wall paneling, pocket doors, and more. This is a must-see property that invites you to explore and envision its potential firsthand.
Offered by NextHome GO30 Realty, this historical gem is listed at $349,000 and comprises 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a total living space of 4,860 square feet. It is located at 914 Franklin Avenue, Salem, OH 44460. For more information, please contact C. Matthew Heikkinen at 330-881-7451.
