Property Description

Step into Civil War-era history with this remarkable century home, built in 1862 and steeped in 19th-century architectural charm. Reflecting the transitional design influences of its time — when Greek Revival gave way to early Italianate and Gothic-inspired vernacular architecture — this residence celebrates handcrafted details and classic proportions that have stood for generations. Lovingly updated for today’s lifestyle while preserving its historic soul, the home welcomes you with spacious rooms and practical flow. The main floor features two bedrooms, a remodeled full bathroom, and first-floor laundry, while a third bedroom awaits upstairs. Imagine cozy evenings in the family room — its vaulted, beam-accented ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, and loft space evoke the spirit of a rustic lodge within a historic setting. Outdoors, historic charm continues: enjoy morning coffee on the covered front porch, entertain on two patios, and savor privacy in the fully fenced backyard. Thoughtful landscaping includes newly planted large dogwood trees and lush hydrangeas artfully arranged to enhance both beauty and seclusion. All this is ideally located in beautiful Madison Township near Lake Erie, shopping, restaurants, and golf. A one-year home warranty is included, making this storied home as practical as it is picturesque. Recent improvements include: Landscaping: 2 large dogwood trees and 4 hydrangeas planted in the backyard, hydrangeas positioned for privacy - Original stone foundation repairs w/river rocks - New thermocouple & gas valve in boiler - Electrical updates done by Positive Energy in Madison: replaced old electrical panels with 2 new electrical panels, updated wiring throughout - Main bathroom: complete gut down to studs and remodel, updated plumbing -Second bathroom: updated plumbing - Dining room: rebuilt wall, paint - New roof - Kitchen: 1 new countertop.
