Property Description
Step into history at 518 Lakeview Drive, locally known as The Hamilton House. Originally built and owned by John D. Hamilton, prominent banker and civic leader, this distinguished five-bedroom historic residence has been thoughtfully restored over the past several years, blending timeless character with modern comfort. The extensive restoration includes a new roof (2023), upgraded 200-amp electrical service and panels, PEX plumbing throughout, restored structural components, new gas lines, chimney caps, basement waterproofing, and a restored main boiler. All doors have been reworked, ceilings and lighting replaced throughout, every surface painted, and the original oak flooring beautifully restored. At the heart of the home is a custom two-room gourmet kitchen featuring wood cabinetry, unlacquered brass hardware and fixtures, double sinks, a 36" Forte gas range and natural slate flooring. A new powder room features a vintage marble sink and marble flooring. The formal living room showcases a custom mural created in Poland, while the dining room features a new chandelier and sconces. The elegant primary suite includes Lewis & Wood wallcovering, custom drapery, a marble vanity, original deep soaking tub, and a separate Italian-tiled shower with custom glass enclosure. French doors lead directly from the primary bedroom to the upstairs balcony, creating a special connection to the outdoors. An additional full upstairs bathroom was thoughtfully added with a custom vintage vessel sink and vanity, unique tile, no-step shower entry, and new toilet. Three additional bedrooms have been restored, bringing the total to five. Outside, the porches have been enhanced with structural improvements, custom-milled wood ceiling, new lighting, Versatex details, and fresh paint. Landscaping and garden areas complete the setting. Modern conveniences include a digital thermostat, cameras, rear door lock, and fiber internet. The Hamilton House is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of local history—beautifully restored, thoughtfully updated, and ready for its next chapter.
