Though this lovely brick home was run as a Bed and Breakfast in 2006, work remains to finish the front of the building. Two suites/apartments in the rear half have been brought to code with high quality and modern features, as well as, clawfoot tubs for relaxing.
There are many unique features, with eleven foot ceilings and ten foot high bay windows, roundtop dormers and a unique “concealed cornice gutter” system around the whole house, that aesthetically was the original design of modern gutter systems today.
This home is perfect for someone wanting the best, as it was built in 1870 with charm, elegance and high style of the Second Empire Design.
Silver Creek is a village on Lake Erie, with its own bay and public beach. All the amenities are nearby, good restaurants, grocery store and bakery across the street, and modern franchises and SUNY Fredonia College less than ten miles away.
The 20% NY Tax credit will be available for restoration and improvements, as this home can be registered as a Historic Landmark and qualify for the new programs in New York State.
Please see the B&B website for details on the love letters in the attic, local information and opportunities nearby, www.thinkofmeever.com . For further information please contact William A. Maecker (716)308-0019 or email maecker@verizon.net
Eleven foot ceilings and ten foot high round top windows are trimmed with massive moldings that contribute to the feel of charm this home offers its owners and guests. Two huge and extremely unique chandeliers are waiting for restoration and reuse-- stored in the attic, along with all the trim to be mounted on the rebuilt concealed gutter cornices. More than a hundred corbels and brackets, made from originals by the Amish, are also in the attic, ready to be installed.
See “restoration” page on the website for photos. 133 Central is a unique home, with a shower built into the “bay” walls in the basement, arched brick portals, round-top windows everywhere, and thousands of dollars worth of new ten-foot tall interior storm windows.
This gorgeous home had fallen from opulence into decay. Restoration has been done to the highest of contemporary standards. Presently lived in by its artist-owner and his 98 year-old mother, after being run as a Bed and Breakfast. There is work to be done, to your liking, to make into a successful B&B, or your home with four floors. It comes with trademark "Think of me Ever..." for the B&B and related products to sell, publicize and as reminders of the visit: posters from 1880; seventy Rose of Sharon bushes are prolific providers of new plants and seeds, for visitors to grow at home and always remember “Think of me Ever…” Listings on several Bed and Breakfast websites have put Silver Creek “on the map” and are easy to put back on the map, when you’re ready to open for business. Tens of thousands of dollars have been offered by potential guests, but the owners have remained closed for two years, to live privately. 133 Central is very capable of producing income for the right people--that will not only support the home and restoration, but provide income as well.
The property is located on the Seaway Trail, on Route 5, a few blocks from downtown, where Rte.5 meets Rte.20. Three miles from Rte. 90, thruway access is fast and easy to find. Two blocks from a quiet Lake Erie beach and small boat launch, the setting is perfect for a Bed and Breakfast. Zoning is residential/commercial, so it is also perfect for professional offices. It might be perfect for you.
