Description

Welcome to the 1887 Alfred Rakel House. Designed by Alfred Mueller, this three-bay Southern Townhouse with Queen Anne features has been a four-time featured home on the GHF homes tour, the last two celebrating the 25th and 50th anniversaries of the tour. It’s within walking distance to everything downtown has to offer. The current owners purchased the property in 2001 and have made this their full-time home since 2010. The restoration began in 2003 and was accomplished by them. The lighted cabinetry in the island kitchen provides plenty of storage, a theme throughout as the home boasts 11 closets, including a ginormous upstairs closet utilized as the primary closet. The primary bedroom boasts an ensuite. The detached 2-car garage also includes an 800-square-foot, two-story apartment. The fenced-in backyard includes a lovely deck and a gas stub for an outdoor grill and/or generator. Victorian charm abounds from Bradbury and Bradbury wall coverings, polished floors and trim, transoms, walk-through windows, and double galleries.
