1251 S. Williams -- Rare 1923 Dutch Colonial
Built in 1923, this rare Dutch Colonial home occupies nearly three lots, which is rare in this area. This style of home originated in the U.S. in the 1600's. The home features 4 bedroom and 2 ½ bathrooms for a total of 2,597 square feet. As you enter the home, you'll notice the distinctive double door, a trademark of this architectural style. Often called a double-dutch door, it is divided horizontally and was once used to keep livestock out of the home while allowing light and air in through the open top. Once inside, the cool colors, built-in pedestal cabinets and brick fireplace invite you to settle in. The homes architecture is juxtaposed with the home-owners modern European furnishings. As luck would have it, the home has fallen into the loving hands of a Dutch family who appreciate the homes character and are committed to preserving this rare treasure.
