This is not just a house; it’s a piece of local history. The Oliver Mansion, built in 1910, is a landmark, a grand Colonial Revival built by one of the town’s founding visionaries.
This home wasn’t just built; it was engineered with a quality that is simply gone from the world.
You can feel that quality from the moment you see it. The home is anchored by a magnificent wrap-around porch, supported by stately steel columns imported from England—a true sign of the builder’s “no expense spared” philosophy.
AND
The walls are 14 inches thick solid brick, and it’s crowned by its original Buckingham slate roof, a feature that tells you this house was meant to stand for centuries.
Inside, the home retains all the grandeur of its era. The ceilings soar to 11 feet, creating a sense of volume and light that is breathtaking. The original hardwood floors, intricate moldings, arched doorways, and transoms are all here.
The home boasts two sweeping staircases and six original fireplaces, each with its own beautiful mantle and tile surround. The layout is from a more gracious time, with twin living rooms and a formal dining room built for grand entertaining.
Even the third floor is a surprise, offering a massive 1,000+ sq ft space that feels like a hidden Gilded Age recreation hall.
This is a rare opportunity for a true steward to take on a home of this significance. It is a solid, honest, and architecturally important piece of history, waiting for its next chapter.
