Step into a piece of American history with this striking 1868-built residence, offering over 3,400 square feet of finished living space on almost an acre corner lot. Featuring six bedrooms and 2½ bathrooms, the home seamlessly blends historic charm with thoughtful updates. The home features a spacious living room with fireplace, formal dining room, and family room with built-in cabinetry and desk. The updated kitchen includes custom cherry cabinetry, ceramic tile flooring, quartz countertops and a pot filler for added convenience. Another highlight of the property is the main level primary bedroom, which features period wallpaper, walk-in closet, and beautifully remodeled, fully accessible en-suite bathroom with tiled roll-in shower and wheelchair-friendly vanity with tiltable mirror. Look for the maid's stairway off the kitchen. You'll treasure the spacious screened porch overlooking the private yard. Unique third-story belvedere atop the front tower adds a distinctive architectural flair. Much of the original walnut siding remains intact, a nod to the home's lumberman built roots. The oversized original carriage house now serves as a double garage with generous second-story storage. Backyard offers shade and privacy, thanks to a diverse mix of systematically planted young and mature trees. Upgrades include 200-amp electrical service and a lawn irrigation system on a separate meter to reduce sewer costs. The exterior reflects a post-Civil War patriotic aesthetic, with a red, white, and blue color scheme and carved eagles flanking the front door. Original hitching posts remain at both the curb and screened porch walk, along with a preserved carriage stepping stone near the front walkway, a rare glimpse into 19th-century life. This is more than a house, it's a rare opportunity to own a living piece of American heritage, preserved and thoughtfully updated for modern life.
