Not a fan of cookie-cutter homes? Imagine yourself in this historic limestone house, fully updated and ready to move into. 2,100 square feet with restored original white oak flooring in the living areas, and new tile floors in the bathrooms. Three bedrooms, two baths, a remodeled kitchen, and your own Starlink already installed. And a tower. Really. Its not very useful, but it has great light from all the windows and is a fantastic place to read. It also makes a perfect place for the Christmas tree! And who else in your family has a tower on their house? Bragging rights assured. But isnt an older home a risk? Not really with new plumbing, new electrical, new heat and air, every room updated, a wonderful country kitchen, limestone and hardie-board exterior, new insulation, a built-in Murphy bed, and a claw-foot tub. Its the best of today and yesterday. Enjoy the outdoors from two porches. The classic covered front porch is a great place to sit and watch neighbors drive by. When the sun drops late in the afternoon, move to the renovated back porch off the library. Here you can enjoy a quiet cup of coffee before the sun gets over the trees in the morning, then move back into the shade of the east-facing porch in the afternoon to relax or grill. Landscaping has been added to try to revive the gardens that the house was famous for. Azaleas, daffodils, tulips, crocus, and other bulbs color the yard in the early Spring. Then Purple Bearded Iris, Yellow Roses, Gladiolus, Surprise Lilies, Peonies, Hibiscus, Ferns, and Day Lilies take over for the summer. Weve tried to stay with native trees that have been planted. Witch Hazel and Redbud are already established in the yard. We took down a large oak in the front yard last year, and its time to add some front yard shade back. This house has had two names. It was built as Glenstone, and then a longtime owner changed the name to Maplehurst to honor the maples that once surrounded the home. Not only is there a great house, but there are also two outbuildings on the one-acre homesite. The three-car garage (one side stacked) has two new doors and openers and is oversized with room for workspace or storage. PLUS there is a second story that can easily be adapted as a maker-space, office, or more amazing storage. There is plenty of power to the garage, so you could add a split-air system, an EV charger, an arc welderanything that needs a lot of juice. The second outbuilding is a 17-by-26 single-story workshop where the original small barn was. The family lived there when they were building the home in 1913! It has concrete floors and is split into two rooms, with an older one-car garage door on the front and a standard door on the back. The yard area is fenced with chain link fencing on three sides and welded wire on one side. Perfect for keeping kids and animals contained. Been thinking of getting chickens? The space behind the workshop is perfect for that. Add a gate and a henhouse, and you are on the way. Under the mud room is another surprise. A cistern was built under the house. A little bit of plumbing and a new pump, and you could have a steady water supply for the chickens, a garden, or to water the lawn and landscaping. And, yes, there is a spooky basement. Officially, it is classified as a crawl space because of the low headroom. That is where the electrical panel, gas furnace, and water heater are located. There is a large space that is perfect for a root cellar. Any water that gets in drains to the cistern. We have never had standing water, just damp concrete, no matter how much it rains. That we added gutters to direct most of the water away from the house has helped.
