Overview

Description

A Rare Sanctuary - 1903 Brick Homestead Awaits! Imagine waking up to the quiet symphony of the country, where the only sounds are the rustle of leaves in your private grove and the distant call of an American Bald Eagle overhead. This is the majestic charm of this unique, 10-acre rural retreat. Standing proudly since 1903, the residence is a stunning 2.5 story American Four-Square, built of solid, beautiful brick atop a well-made stone foundation. This is a testament to quality craftsmanship that has endured for over a century, providing an unshakeable sense of warmth, security, and permanence. The property is divided across two 5-acre parcels, offering a perfect blend of a serene, wooded residence and a fully-equipped working homestead, all protected by a quiet, sparsely-dense community of wonderful neighbors. Step across the threshold and into a world where historic grandeur seamlessly meets practical, modern living. The first impression is one of timeless elegance, defined by original woodwork throughout, including the antique five-panel solid wood interior doors and breathtaking tin ceilings with ornate crown molding on both the main and upper levels. The main level is a homeowner’s dream, featuring gleaming hardwood floors and a thoughtfully designed layout centered around main-floor living. The generous 15’X15’ Primary Bedroom, a modern laundry room, and a well-appointed bathroom provide all the conveniences of a modern ranch-style home while still enveloped in historic character. Even the two-car attached garage is connected through a newly finished, functional mudroom, making daily life effortless and functional.The heart of the home, the kitchen, perfectly encapsulates the blend of old and new. The space is entirely modernized and built for a true hobbyist chef, featuring stainless steel appliances, and a large center island with a sleek Quartz countertop ideal for gatherings or prepping preserves from your garden. Above, the residence boasts 4 more large bedrooms, ensuring ample space. The upper-level bath offers a true retreat with a contemporary shower alongside the timeless appeal of a classic cast iron free-standing tub. Throughout the home, touches like the stunning stained glass windows in the living and dining rooms add a unique, luminous character—a constant reminder of the home's storied past. Beyond the main residence, the 10 unrestricted acres offer endless possibilities for the self-sufficient-minded buyer. This is a property designed for the homestead-focused life you’ve always envisioned. The property is a working hobby farm ready for animals, complete with a massive barn set up for horses, divided pastures, loafing sheds, and multiple outbuildings, including a heated, insulated workshop—perfect for a tradesperson or serious hobbyist. With newer, low-maintenance metal roofs on the workshop and barn (~8 years old) and a composite shingle roof on the house (~10 years old), the major structural elements are secured. And for the ultimate modern necessity, this rural haven offers Gigabit Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) internet, making remote work, online schooling, or streaming truly seamless. The efficiency and seclusion of this property complete its appeal. Heating and cooling are handled by an incredibly efficient electric Ground Source Heat Pump (HVAC) system, ensuring comfort year-round with low operating costs. The home operates on a private well and septic system. Whether you are enjoying the solitude of the quiet setting, observing the plentiful wildlife—including frequent deer and majestic Bald Eagle sightings—or contemplating the vast potential of the large, walk-up attic ready to be finished into more living space, this property is a powerful combination of pristine history, practical functionality, and glowing rural retreat. Located just 4 miles from Sacred Heart and centrally positioned near 4 small cities for dining and shopping. This is more than a house, its the launchpad of your
