110 W Washington St

Presenting the historic William Shepherd House! This gorgeous home was built in 1873 by William Shepherd, a prominent and influential businessman in early Bath, NY. In the 153 years since its construction, only 3 families have owned this truly stunning estate!

Listed with the National Register of Historic Places, the house is an Italian Villa featuring the classic exterior features of that style including the low pitched roofs, tall windows, and beautiful scroll shaped corbels under the eaves. As well as the focal point of the exterior, the central square tower (the "campanile") at the highest point of the house.

The 4860 sq ft of this house includes no less than 7 bedrooms and two full bathrooms, an elegant parlor, foyer, living room, and bright sunroom along with a butler's pantry that still has the cast iron wood cookstove (still beautiful but now aesthetic only). An updated kitchen now features a beautiful hammered copper sink and granite countertops!

Throughout you'll see how many of the original features of this home are still here today including the intricate crown molding surrounding the 12 foot high ceilings, multiple antique cast iron fireplaces in the prominent rooms, marble recessed wall niches, and original hardwood floors.

The house is situated on a .9 acre lot just around the corner from Haverling High School and now has a large detached garage with 3 bay doors set in the expansive parking area. The fully fenced in backyard features a lovely gazebo and plenty of space for enjoying a backyard coffee.

Some photos from the mid 1900s will show a large radio tower in the yard. This was in use by Warren K Hamilton after his time serving in WWII in an intelligence division of the FCC. Warren's Father, Warren B, had purchased the home in 1911. He drove a motorcycle with his 3 year old son as a passenger to Bath to purchase the Shepherd House to serve as his own family's home. The house would remain with the Hamilton family for over a century!
