About this home
Welcome to one of Beecher's most distinctive properties - 741 Dunbar. This historical home was built in 1908 by Civil War veteran August Ehrhardt. It sits on six village lots (1 acre) with mature native trees, and custom landscaping. The four-story concrete block home features a red tile roof, with quality materials throughout. The four-story barn with shake-shingle roof is topped with a vintage weather vane (both have lightning rods). The detached studio has electricity, carpeting, and baseboard heat. During the time of the current owners, the foundation has been reinforced with steel beams, the concrete front porch has been replaced, and the original tile roof has been restored. Floor to ceiling book shelves have been installed in the library. The home has solid hardwood floors on both lower and upper floors. Three decorative borders surround the downstairs hardwood floors. Sliding, pocket doors are located in the dining room and library. All hardware on doors, windows, and cabinets is solid brass. The front and back stairs meet on a landing which has a large (56"x 65") stained glass window dedicated to the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). Another stained-glass window is located in the library. It was installed in 1980 and replicates the original. The foyer and front hallway retains the original gas ceiling lights with Carmel glass have been electrified. The foyer's original mosaic floor has been restored, and the walls are covered with embossed leather. The dining room contains a large oak China cupboard with a plate glass mirror and south bay window. Four large bedrooms are located on the upper floor, each with large walk-in closets. The spacious hallway has a large closet with cedar lined drawers. The upstairs bathroom contains the original claw-and-ball foot ceramic bathtub, and the original sink and stool. The large carpeted office located in the basement features built-in book shelves, excellent lighting, and all hook-ups for computer, printer, etc. Available for sale for the first time in 50 years, what the current owners love most about the property. * History - Strong American and Beecher significance * Well Built - sound sturdy construction that embraces you in all weather. * Quiet part of town - Set back from the street with two corner lots * Trees/landscaping: Personally curated landscaping featuring young and older native trees.
