About this home

The work has already been done on this 1855 home and the details are spectacular. You would never guess this nearly 1800 sq ft. home predates Abraham Lincoln as president. Original wood floors and beams stand out immediately as you enter this 4 bedroom home. A wood burning stove adds to the old world charm while an outdoor sauna feels like a more modern touch. This is a beautiful home with nearly one and a half acres to explore. A circular driveway provides ample parking space while an old road behind the house leads to ample possibilities on the rest of the property.
