Wow...is all you can say as you walk up the stairs surrounded by enormous pillars to the wrap-around covered porch with such a beautiful beadboard ceiling and hanging porch swing! Then, as you turn around while standing on the front porch, you see the setting of all the greenspace of Gouge Park...from this point on you know this historic mansion is something special! It was originally built for one of the first mayors of the city of Superior, Charles Starkweather, and no expense was spared! Opening the double front doors and seeing the combination of tall ceilings, inlaid hardwood floors, carved wood and coffered ceilings, and ornate work everywhere you look from the workmanship of days gone by. Combine the spectacular historic features with modern updates including Anderson windows, a tiled fireplace, custom eat-in kitchen, custom coffee bar/server, custom window treatments, updated bathroom with main floor walk-in shower, and much much more. One of the things that grabs your attention is how functional the floor plan is of this great turn-key property is! So many older homes don't have space for families or entertaining, but every thought has gone into this design for both! Over the past couple years, the home has been used as a short-term rental under a Tourist Rooming House license. Whether looking at this as a primary residence or an investment property you will be amazed by the quality of work! Set up a showing today to see this one-of-a-kind amazing home!
