Motivated sellers with BIG price drop. Now listed below appraisal! Built in 1878, this beautifully restored Italianate Victorian house, known locally as "The Brick House," is a Morrison landmark rich in history and charm. Once home to suffragist Gertrude Foster Brown and later a beloved local restaurant, the property features exquisite 19th-century craftsmanship, including detailed woodwork, tall ceilings, and wrap around verandas. Restorations began in 2022 to present, and include a new roof, HVAC, water and gas lines, vinyl privacy fence, water softener system, and much more. The home retains many original features, including wood floors, decorative woodwork, fireplaces & curved stairway. The gathering rooms and bedrooms are generously sized, lending a spacious feeling. The custom kitchen has been newly renovated with high-end Forno appliances, all-new electrical, plumbing, and light fixtures, Pergo floors, solid-wood painted cabinets, hand-crafted island and countertops, brass accents and fixtures, a restored vintage cement sink, and a hood vent. The ceilings of the sitting room, dining room, hall, and parlor have elaborate plaster centerpieces. The doors and woodwork throughout the home are black walnut, and the newel post is a masterpiece constructed of black walnut and bird's eye maple. The first floor consists of 12 rooms: a family room, living room, dining room, sitting room, back entry or mud room, bedroom, kitchen, and large pantry. Two half baths (1 recently renovated) and a coat room are off the back entry. On the second floor, there are 4 bedrooms, a newly renovated full bathroom, a second kitchen, and laundry. The third floor has a finished, large open room and an unfinished space that can add additional living area. The cupola or Belvedere (accessible from the attic) and the second-story screened-in porch offer panoramic views. Three covered verandas adorn the house and offer scenic places to relax. There is a full basement with exposed brick and stone walls, and a finished shop accessible from inside the house or from outside. An extensive list of renovations completed is available upon request or to Realtors on the MLS. Some of the antique furniture is available for sale separately or can be negotiated into the sale price.
