16648 US Highway 52 Steeped in history and set on over four acres of richly cultivated land, this classic Greek Revival house (c.1854) offers a rare blend of period craftsmanship and modern comfort. Original wide-plank pine floors run throughout, complemented by carefully recreated solid-wood trim matching the home's original millwork. Two parlors, separated by original folding doors, provide flexible living and entertaining space, with one opening to an expansive ~700-square-foot screened porch featuring a cathedral beamed ceiling. In the north parlor, two original oil paintings on wood panels remain beneath the windows-one depicting the tools of the home's architect, whose name remains inscribed, the pair executed by a single artist, preserving a rare and intimate connection to the home's origins. The home offers three bedrooms, including a primary suite with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and an in-room sink. One full bath is supplemented by a basement shower and toilet. Attic access from the primary bedroom provides additional storage. Two fireplaces add character: a non-functioning fireplace in the kitchen and a gas fireplace in the dining area. Modern systems include two furnaces and two central air systems (attic and basement), allowing climate control without intrusive ductwork, plus a backup generator. Laundry is located in the basement. Outbuildings include a classic 1870s bank barn, hog barn, pole barn, three-car garage, and a former summer kitchen-now a well-equipped garden workroom with built-in cabinetry, tool hooks, and shelving. Constructed in traditional timber-frame post-and-beam, both house and barn reflect enduring craftsmanship. The land features rich black loam soil, two fenced garden areas, and over 300 trees and shrubs, many heirloom varieties. Highlights include a formal peony garden, heirloom apple trees, arbor vitae, and original iris and peonies propagated over time. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully preserved historic property with exceptional grounds and lasting architectural character.
