About This Home

There's a certain feeling you get the moment you step onto the porch of a home like this -- the sense that time slows down just a little. Built in 1875, this extraordinary Victorian invites you into a world where craftsmanship mattered, evenings lasted longer, and every room held a story. Imagine mornings filled with soft sunlight pouring through tall windows onto original hardwood floors that have carried generations before you. Coffee on the covered back porch. The quiet crackle of a fireplace warming the living room on cool evenings. Dinner parties that spill from room to room beneath soaring 10-foot ceilings, where laughter echoes through spaces designed long before open concepts ever existed. With over 3,200 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 8 fireplaces throughout the home, every corner offers its own personality -- cozy reading nooks, dramatic gathering spaces, and peaceful retreats that feel completely removed from the rush of everyday life. Two gas fireplaces in the living room and primary suite create the kind of warmth that makes winter evenings feel unforgettable. The primary suite feels like something from another era -- a private escape complete with a clawfoot tub, trey ceilings, and handcrafted artistic details that give the space a romantic, almost storybook quality. Outside, more than an acre spread across two lots creates endless possibilities. Garden parties under the stars. Children and pets running freely within the fenced backyard. Weekend projects or dream hobbies coming to life inside the massive 24x50 workshop. Nights spent on the porch listening to summer rain roll in across the property. Homes like this are rare because they offer something impossible to build today -- soul, history, and a presence that can be felt the second you walk through the door. This isn't simply a place to live. It's a place to slow down, gather, create memories, and become part of a story that began nearly 150 years ago.
