This High Victorian Gothic with castellations was built by Charles T. Woodruff in 1859. A stately home with ten-foot ceilings on both the first and second floor, eight-foot paneled wood doors throughout, six-foot arched windows, three fireplaces, and many built-ins and decorative moldings throughout. The upper level provides five good sized bedrooms, two full baths, plenty of closet space, a curved staircase to the attic with a widow's peak and a curved back staircase to the kitchen/family room. A 20 foot Tuscan columned covered porch overlooks the private yard with mature plantings and the grand double paneled front door opens into the front two-story foyer with a sitting area above. The front rooms of the house each contain a nook created by the castellated structure providing a room within the room. Ideally located just minutes from town, this well-landscaped level parcel overlooks the Green and offers plenty of yard with privacy from neighbors. A period home that is hitting the market for the first time and offers a rare opportunity to grab a piece of Watertown's history and unmatched architecture.
