Now is the time to start a new phase in your life! Harbour Homes Realty has the perfect opportunity for you in Vermilion. Introducing the restored PELTON HOUSE, located in the Historic District of Vermilion, sitting strategically on the corner of Liberty Avenue and Decatur Street, originally built in 1818 for Captain Josiah Pelton, Sr, the father of the “hydroelectric power”. The exterior of the home with its ornate accent above the second story windows, with the structure wrapping around the corner, still portrays the lovely open porch to enjoy all those evening breezes. Many owners have owned this stately building over the years, and many different uses were created. The final stage of development made by the present owners was to restore the building to accent its historical background and its structure to be a Bed & Breakfast [consisting of 3 private, beautifully decorated units, equipped with modern appliances] and in the rear of the building, there are two units that have tenants. Rental of the B & B has been on-going since renovation of the building. A tour is required to be awed by its many features and its recorded history. Walk to the beach, eateries, shopping, and the feel and ambiance of the time when seafaring captains were active towns people, and the friendliness of the merchants and its citizens. Call today and arrange your private tour.
