Behold a living canvas of architectural artistry: Pleasant View Manor, c. 1901, stands as an edifice where history, craftsmanship, and grandeur converge. At approximately 4,104 ft (3,173 ft main + third-floor attic and wine-cellar basement), it unfolds across 18 commanding rooms, including 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, three master suites, two full kitchens, a grand living room adjoined by an elegant parlor/family room, and a dining room crowned with its original built-in buffet. Rich with light and history, the house boasts 78 windows framed by 48 doors each a portal to another story. Now enhanced with a fully functioning in-law suite, complete with its own kitchen, generously sized bedroom, walk-in closet, bath, and private entrance. Originally conceived by developer Charles E. Espey and his wife Olive L. Benton, this home was later transformed in c. 1918 by prominent architect Harvey H. Lochridge, nearly doubling its footprinteach wall, beam, and truss testament to eras layered in time.
