Property Description

FINALLY!!! This is your chance to live on Millionaires Row! Step back in time to 1854, when this treasure was created detail by detail. Once you arrived by carriage, you would be welcomed by the charm and the beauty of the architecture of the current times known as the Early Greek Revival Style. Some details like the dental molding, the round frieze windows, the pillars are obvious, but then some details are hidden like the 19 trough gutter system. Once you enter your foyer, your attention is captured by the grand staircase and it's a reminder that the grandness will be the first thing your guests will see when your staff opens the door for them and welcome them into the parlor for some tea next to one of the three hand carved marble fireplaces. The original owner was for General McLain, and then purchased in 1894 by Elmer Gillmer, founder of a local electric co. (has since been known as the Gillmer House) when he made the news making this the first house to have electric lights in the area! This was also the first to have indoor plumbing and pane glass windows. For some time this was used by T.A.G. (Trumbull Art Guild). Now it's your turn to let your creative mind go wild with the next story to be told in this next 4,178 sq ft house with 12' ceilings on the first floor, & rooms that you can define as you wish & need! Upstairs there are currently 3 bedrooms and a large 34 x 14 space that would be perfect to transform into a primary suite of your dreams. 2 of the bedrooms have a jack & jill bathroom for convenience. Laundry room is on the second floor for convenience by the second staircase. The first area in the walk up attic has been lath plastered with decorative chair rail. There is ample storage space in the second area. Front of the home is boiler heat and staff wing (back) is forced air heat. Think of how proud you will be to bring life to this piece of history. Don't let this opportunity to own this historic landmark pass you by!
