Property details
About 204 Monroe St
Designed by architect Forrest Van VolkenBerg, construction on this stately Dutch Colonial Revival style home was completed in 1911. This is the first time this home has been sold since 1945. The Craftsman style expressions of the period are distinguishable in the eyebrow window, bracketed eaves, pierced pier canopy covering the arched front entry and the enclosed 3 season porch. This iconic home is part of the Henderson Park/West Main Hill Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places alongside the Henderson Castle which is just a short, 2 block, stroll along the picturesque tree lined street. The elegant grand foyer graciously connects with the large living room and a stunning formal dining room through either of two sets of double doors with the original leaded glass. The spacious living room has a fireplace, coffered ceilings and has two doorways into a wonderful 2 season porch with 2nd fireplace. The formal dining room has coffered ceilings, 3/4 wainscoting and built in cabinetry. A real butlers pantry connects the formal dining room with the kitchen and a small room once used as a telephone room. In the kitchen you'll still find the bell box used to notify the servants that something was needed on one of the other floors. On the 2nd floor you'll find 4 bedrooms, one currently used as a living area with yet a 3rd fireplace, a full bath and a enclosed sun room. The 3rd floor has a 5th bedroom, full bath and game room. A full basement offers more than amble storage, a workshop area, finished living area and laundry. You'll find the original woodwork and original leaded glass throughout this extremely well cared for home. There are 2 garages, the 2 car is attached to the home by a lovely deck and the other is a one car garage with attached storage area. The roof was replaced in 2022 and new city water line in 2024. Preapproved or buyers with proof of funds only.
