About 1601 Postoffice
Lovely raised 3/2 home in EEHD. Cad has it built in 1896, previous sellers and references claim 1907 .The Thomas Bollinger family maintained ownership until 1948, when they sold to Alice A. Mullen who owned the property until 1987. Because the property has so few owners, the house has managed to stay largely intact and retains most of its original design. Architecturally, the house represents the transition between High Victorian and Queen Anne. Double galleries, lots of light walk thru windows artistically crafted wood floors add to its charm. The home boasts an updated kitchen and baths. The sellers have just added a shower in downstairs bathroom, making it a full bath. An anomaly in a historic home is that the all windows open! Appliances and rug in upstairs bedroom conveys. Fenced in yard. Walkable to most of the Island finest attractions! All bedrooms are upstairs . This is a charming home.
