Property Description

Step into a piece of Delaware County history in this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated residence dating back to the 1830s. Rich in character, craftsmanship, and stories spanning nearly two centuries, this remarkable home offers a rare opportunity to own a property where historic charm and modern comfort come together seamlessly. What truly sets this home apart is its incredible legacy. The current owner has carefully preserved a collection of historical photographs, ownership records, most historical invoices, manuals, and documentation dating back through generations, creating a living timeline of the property's history that will be treasured by future owners for years to come. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the warmth and timeless appeal that only a home of this era can provide. The main level features a spacious sitting room, an inviting family room centered around a fireplace, and a charming reading nook complete with its own fireplace, creating multiple spaces to relax, entertain, and unwind. At the heart of the home is an expansive eat-in kitchen designed for both everyday living and hosting. Offering abundant cabinetry, generous countertop space, and room to gather, it's a true chef's dream. The first floor also includes a versatile bedroom that can serve as a guest suite, home office, library, or hobby room, a convenient laundry area, a dedicated sound system closet that controls speakers throughout the first floor, and a full bathroom featuring a relaxing jacuzzi tub. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with a walk-in closet. An oversized full bathroom serves the second floor, while walk-up attic access leads to an expansive bonus room offering endless possibilities. Whether envisioned as a studio, creative workspace, fitness area, game room, or private retreat, the flexibility of this space is truly exceptional. The outdoor living experience is equally impressive. A large rear deck overlooks the backyard and provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or summer entertaining. The deck leads to a cozy firepit area and a beautiful inground pool, creating your own private retreat. The expansive yard offers ample room for gatherings, recreation, gardening, and making memories with family and friends. Tucked neatly into the corner of the property is a well-designed storage shed that discreetly houses the pool equipment while providing additional storage space. Offering historic charm, thoughtful updates, versatile living spaces, and exceptional outdoor amenities, this one-of-a-kind property is far more than a home—it is an opportunity to become part of a story nearly 200 years in the making and continue a legacy that has been lovingly preserved for generations.
