This Historic Ripley home has been host to many of Ripley's finest people. Built in 1825, it has been completely and lovingly restored and contains all of the original architectural features combined with modern amenities. The house features a grand ballroom, which now serves as a living room, containing 2 white Venetian marble fireplaces from Italy. The elaborate chandelier and wall sconces are French and the room has intricate ceiling medallions and designed moldings. The library has antique floor to ceiling bookcases and hardwood floors, while the large dining room features a lovely fireplace. There are 9 fireplaces in all with designs of Rookwood, slate, marble and wood. The windows are shuttered and the completely updated kitchen has exposed brick, solid surface countertops and stainless steel appliances. There is a first floor utility room and a second floor laundry as well.
The curved stairway of original refinished wood leads to the upstairs where you will find 3 bedrooms. The master suite has 2 (yes 2!!) fireplaces, a clawfoot bathtub and ceiling heating and cooling. The second floor veranda overlooks a romantic garden and boasts a view of the scenic Ohio River. The third floor has two more bedrooms, making a total of five all together! The house is structurally sound and has a new air conditioner compressor and new roof. This home will remind you of a more romantic era in America's history and yet it contains all the comforts today's family demands. This home is move-in ready and is looking for your family to love it.
A detached two car garage provides plenty of storage by having a large workshop complete with a built in bench for the fixer upper in all of us. Its just a steps to Front St. and the banks of the Ohio River and a short walk to parks and restaurants.
