Property Description
Historic 1872 Farmhouse on 6.3 Acres - A Rare Blend of Preservation and Modern Craftsmanship
This beautifully restored 1872 farmhouse sits on 6.3 serene acres along a blacktop road, offering a rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind property where history, character, and craftsmanship converge. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully renovated to maintain its original charm, while seamlessly integrating modern comforts. The renovation was a labor of love, with an uncompromising dedication to authenticity. Much of the work used repurposed wood and materials - not only to reduce waste, but to ensure the textures and finishes stayed true to the period. Custom-milled trim was handcrafted to match original 19th-century profiles, preserving the visual language of the home's roots while offering fresh, flawless finishes. Throughout the house, you'll find intricate woodwork and fine details that reflect the era's craftsmanship - from the door casings to the stair railings - all restored or recreated to echo the past. Original architectural elements were maintained or recreated wherever possible, creating a warm and timeless atmosphere. While honoring its heritage, the home also received a new roof in 2023, has fully updated windows, land modern electrical systems, making it as reliable and efficient as it is beautiful. Comfort upgrades include hot water heat, central A/C, and in-floor heating in the kitchen addition, bathroom, laundry room, and attached garage - ensuring this historic gem lives as comfortably as any modern home. This home's story is just as rich as its character. Rumored to have hosted Al Capone during his travels and once owned by a Civil War veteran, it was proudly featured on the 2010 Tour of Homes, showcasing its unique beauty to the community. Outside, enjoy a front and back deck (with hot tub and gazebo) perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A cozy 3-season porch adds to the charm, while a storage shed with fenced enclosure is ideal for a chicken coop, garden, or creative use. A spacious 48' x 28' pole shed and a large attached garage provide excellent workspace
or storage. This home is more than just a place to live - it's a piece of history brought back to life with care, creativity, and reverence for its past. The deeper you look, the more you'll appreciate the extraordinary detail and passion that went into every finish. This is truly a home that you must see in person to appreciate.
