Property Description

Stately Historic Manor with Charming Turn-Key Cottage Step into history and elegance with this remarkable property, offering not one but two distinctive homes on a beautifully landscaped lot. The main residence is a stately 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath manor featuring refinished hardwood floors that exude timeless warmth. The bathrooms have been thoughtfully refreshed with new tile and luxurious quartz countertops. A formal dining room with an original Prohibition-era trap door for wine storage adds a one-of-a-kind conversation piece. This is more than just a home—it's a piece of history, proudly known as the birthplace of Skippy Peanut Butter. Adding to the charm, the property includes an original Better Homes and Gardens turn-key cottage—a cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat with a fireplace, an inviting dining and living area, and a full kitchen. Perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or rental income. Outside, you'll find lush new grass, fresh landscaping, and a spacious yard for outdoor entertaining. The full unfinished basement offers endless potential—create a workshop, add another living level, or enjoy abundant storage space. This rare opportunity blends history, character, and modern updates in a truly unforgettable setting.
