Description
Become a part of local and national history! Stonum, a National Historic Landmark was once the country home of George Read, Signer of the Declaration on Independence and holder of many offices during the early years of our democracy. The property was a 3 unit apartment building with a large garage. It can be easily converted back to a 3 unit building. Two kitchens remain and a bathroom for each unit. The electric and gas are separately metered. Landlord pays for the water and sewer. The garage is currently rented for $335 per month on a month to month lease. The property needs work, but could be a beautiful building. The Historic American Building Survey report from 1936 found noteworthy original features including corner fireplaces, detailed woodwork, elegant mantles, 1 1/2" red pine flooring, a wooden exterior cornice and 9 over 9 windows on the facade. The oldest section of the house dates to 1730 with additions prior to 1769 and one in 1850. Property is vacant and easy to show.
