About this home
Welcome to Ripple House Circa 1873. A wonderful home rich with local history. Home was originally built for Dr. & Mrs. J.M. Ripple, a prominent doctor in town. Home features three finished levels of living space. Including 7-8 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, boasting over 6000 Sq Ft of finished space. Land is .5 of an acre and goes from the street to the alley in the rear. Parking under the portico and entering onto expansive wrap around front porch presents your entry at center hall. From this point you have the choice of visiting in the front parlor or the spacious grand living room. As you proceed through you can see the shining hardwood floors. You then come to the cozier family room where the current family has enjoyed movie nights, visits with close family and an occasional cozy fire in the working wood burning fireplace. Several sets of original glass & wood French-styled doors set the stage for opening up for entertaining or closing for more intimate gathering spaces. The formal dining room is next. This space will hold a large party with a table for 8-10 with ease along with sideboard, server and accompanying furniture. The sunroom is a medium sized room with lots of natural light and access to the rear porch and yard. The kitchen positioned at the rear of the home is an ample space for cooking and getting the day started. Generous original pantry area allows for great storage beyond the kitchen space. Half bath on this level is conveniently located and tucked away under the stairs. The wide-open staircase takes us to the second level. Level two provides 2 full baths and 5 bedrooms, each generously sized and with their own closets. Folding glass and wood doors on this level function and slide easily together for a quiet space during times of downstairs entertainment- one of many WOW factors! Large linen closet mirrors the first-floor pantry for amazing storage options. As we continue to the third floor, up the second open stair case, we find additional bedrooms 6, 7 & potentially 8 as well as a spacious open room that could be for a modern theater or hobby/craft room. Some of this level is used as storage. The basement is dry and well lit. The laundry room, walk out to rear yard and lots of space for storage allow for many uses. There is shelving in place, a few work benches and a room formerly used as a dark room. No shortage of storage space in this home! At the rear of the property, you will find the former carriage house that serves as a 2-car garage. Full walk-up stairs allows for an additional workshop or more storage. Adjacent to the carriage house is a fenced dog-run for your furry friends. The zoning here is Town Center District which allows for many uses beyond residential. You can live and work from this home as many downtown businesses have done. Seller to find home of choice. Some additional History nuggets: This site was formerly a school house known as the Western School, it was used as a hospital during the civil war. Dr. Ripple purchased the site to build his family home that would also house his office. In 1898 the third story was added by local builder and planing-mill operator, Daniel W. Hess, to contain 4 additional rooms behind the stylized mansard roof line we see today. The home was the location of their daughters Margie Ripples wedding to a Mr. E. A .Shriver 1903. Much more history can be found in several articles written over the years. Seller has some copies to give over to the lucky buyer. If you are looking for lots of space to spread out and enjoy end to end charm, this home is a must see. #ripplehouse #welcomehome...
