Historic Charles Shank House c.1918- $635,000

The Historic Charles Shank House
The Charles Shank House c.1918, is an extraordinary historic treasure and has not changed substantially since it was built almost a century ago. Middletown has grown up around it, but the house itself has remained in a time capsule. The carriage driveway still passes next to the home's carriage porch with its sheltering overhang and built-in carriage step. The original and extensive custom woodwork is flawlessly preserved throughout the spacious rooms and elegant spaces. The massive front door opens to a charming vestibule of ornate leaded glass and fine crafted walnut, and the grand entry hall, bordered by an elegant parlor on one side and an intimate sitting room on the other, offers a view up the exquisitely crafted staircase to a beautifully constructed wood alcove and glorious stain glass window rising gracefully to the ceiling.
This is a home of rare and beautiful distinction.
