Description

This majestic home was lovingly restored to its former glory in 2018, using historic materials whenever possible to replace missing or damaged original materials. Referred to locally as The Osborn House, this fully restored home invites you to step back to the 1840's. The main house welcomes you with its wide, covered front porch and ushers you inside to the grand foyer. To the left is a double parlor with two fireplaces. To the right is a formal living room and master suite with marble bathroom. The original heart of pine floors have been brought back to life and gleam throughout the home. The kitchen retains elements of the original home as accents but has all modern conveniences. Upstairs there is an en-suite bedroom and two additional bedrooms and a bath. The unfinished third level offers versatile space for finishing or for storage. In addition, the original kitchen is on the back grounds and would make a perfect guest house or office. It dates from the 1890's and was connected to the main house by a porch before the house was moved 50' to the left in 2017. A carriage house/car shed has been added to house cars or can be used as a pavilion. The Osborn House is not a remodeled house. The professional approach to this restoration restores and recreates the 19th century features of this historic house. Original Federal and Greek Revival designs were restored, and later Victorian additions were treated in such a way as adapting them to the restored/preserved outbuildings. Whenever possible, historic materials were used to replace missing or damaged original materials.
