This historic estate is a staple in the Germantown community, not only for the famous newspaper editor/ co-publisher who lived here, but for the builder who was Captain Richard Schaeffer, commander of the militia during the Civil War (you can find his initials in the ornate wood mantel in the living room). This 3300 square foot brick home is on 1/3+ acre lot located on a private corner, comes fully fenced and gated. The property is kept pristine with all the beautiful original details and remolded kitchen and baths. Entering the home you will notice the original inlay hardwoods, stained glass transoms above doors, original marble and wood mantels on the fireplaces, interior wood shutters, original lighting, and much more. The home features a beautifully remodeled kitchen with heated tile floors, granite countertops, white cabinets, stainless steal appliances, and walk-in pantry. There is a bedroom, a full bath, a half bath, and laundry room on the main floor. Upstairs on the second level you will find 3 large bedrooms and a full remolded bath. There is interior and exterior access to the one bedroom apartment above the garage. Are you ready to own a beautiful piece of history that has been meticulously kept? Schedule your showing today!
