There’s something unforgettable about this home from the moment you arrive. Graceful and gorgeous without feeling the least bit stuffy, this beautifully restored 1864 property wraps historic character, modern comfort, and an incredibly welcoming atmosphere into one truly special place. With more than 2,200 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space, it’s the kind of home that feels both impressive and instantly comfortable.
Inside, sunlight pours through oversized windows into spacious rooms filled with warmth and personality. Original wood floors, high ceilings, custom wainscoting, built-in bookcases, and three stunning fireplaces (two fully functional), create the perfect backdrop for cozy evenings, quiet mornings with coffee and a book, or lively gatherings with friends and family. Every corner feels layered with charm and history while still feeling fresh, stylish, and completely livable.
The oversized dining room was practically made for holidays, game nights, and long conversations around the table, while the inviting living spaces offer endless opportunities for reading nooks, movie marathons, or simply curling up by the fire on a snowy Midwest evening.
The kitchen has been newly refurbished this year and offers a warm, homey feel with all appliances included, plus the washer and dryer stay too, making the move completely effortless. Upstairs, the reading nook next to the primary bedroom opens to a tiny private deck that feels like a hidden retreat for two, perfect for morning coffee, evening wine under the trees, or the best view you can get of the annual downtown fireworks display. You’ll also find access to the enormous attic space, offering incredible storage or future potential.
The third bedroom is tucked through a charming bonus room, creating a flexible layout perfect for a private guest suite, nursery, office, dressing room, art studio, or cozy den. Generous closets, a dry basement, and a detached two-car garage mean storage is never an issue here.
Outside, the covered front porch feels straight out of another era, just waiting for porch swings, friendly conversations, sweet tea, and rainy afternoons. The fenced yard offers even more room to relax and unwind, and don't miss the mature raspberry and blackberry plants tucked into side yard. Full disclosure, that back deck has seen better days, but it's just waiting for someone to turn it back into the outdoor entertaining space of their dreams.
Lovingly maintained and move-in ready, recent updates include a new roof in 2020 along with extensive custom woodwork and built-ins completed within the last five years. This home isn’t just beautiful, it’s soulful. The kind of place where history feels alive, guests instantly feel at home, and everyday life becomes something a little more magical.
