1605 Mitman Rd Forks Twp, PA 18040

(NO SHOWINGS UNTIL OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY MAY 4TH) This Victorian home was constructed in 1898 for William T. Mitman and his wife Linda. The couple occupied the house with their son, Carl, who was born in 1899. The first deed of sale on the house is dated 1900, and the sellers were Mitman’s own parents, William H. and Louisa Mitman. It is one of the two oldest houses on the street named after the family. The house sits on a one-acre lot with mature flowering trees in an established neighborhood. It retains much of the original Victorian charm that the Mitman’s knew: high ceilings, original mouldings, large double-hung windows. Three bedrooms on the second floor are complemented by a large walk-in attic that is heated and air-conditioned. An upgraded kitchen, with first-floor laundry and full bath add convenience to daily living. A detached 2-car garage was constructed in 1964 with lumber from an original barn located at the rear of the property. The garage includes its own attic for storage, plus a large patio with a fireplace for outdoor entertaining. A second patio, closer to the house, enhances the outdoor experience. For someone who loves old houses, this property is move-in ready, and offers the owner the opportunity to add personal and even historic touches to bring it into its third century.
