Gracious entrance welcomes you to the historic Joseph Loughlin House
Entrance from S Front St with historic plaque lets your visitors know how special your home has been since 1909
Super flexible floorplan leaves it to you to make your main bedroom down or up, with lots of extra space to make your own
When you first enter, the stairs are on your left and living room (historically the parlor) on the right
Bay window in the living room backs up to the front porch
The living room has the 1st of 4 non-working fireplaces in the home, one of the first things your guests will see when they enter
The living room opens to the back half of the house -- dining room, kitchen, and downstairs bedroom suite behind
Dining room is large enough to double as a den if you prefer
The downstairs bedroom suite and laundry are accessed from the dining room
The 2nd of 4 non-working fireplaces is in the dining room -- note the plantation shutters added to every window in 2019
The kitchen was completely redone in 2019, with all new appliances and cabinetry.
Your friends can belly up to the breakfast bar, and it's plenty big enough to have a meal on
The sink has an integrated water purification system for your drinking water
Wall microwave and oven combo were added in 2019
You can see straight through to the dining room and fireplace from the kitchen
Off the kitchen is a covered porch that leads to the garden and parking area (3 cars!)
Shed in the distance and car park are a few steps from the back porch
This room and the adjacent bath can be a downstairs primary, guest space, or office
The whole house got fresh paint inside and out in 2019
The stackable w/d were added to the downstairs bath in 2019
Head on upstairs from the front hall. Don't miss the piano. It can stay if you want it!
At the top of the stairs is a bonus space for your library, or it could easily be converted to a huge walk-in closet
This large front bedroom is above the living room and has gorgeous bay windows
The front bedroom also has the 3rd of 4 non-working fireplaces
Every room has new plantation shutters!
New bathroom added in 2019 to service the extra bedrooms
Gorgeous and huge shower w/bench
Marked "primary" on the floorplan, this middle bedroom is across the hall from the new bath
4th of 4 fireplaces in the middle bedroom gives it the feeling of a main bedroom
Lovely back bathroom with tub and shower serves the back bedroom
This room is on the back of the house overlooking the gardens
This porch is at the end of the upstairs hall, and overlooks the back gardens
Lovely strolling gardens in the back
Crushed rock and brick paths guide you through the gardens
It's the river right over there! Just a block away.
