Property Description
Step into history and charm with this grand 17-room, 2-story full-brick country home nestled on nearly 1 acre in the peaceful countryside of Greensburg—just 2.5 miles from town on Millhousen Road. Built in 1860, this stately residence offers 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, and is full of timeless character and architectural detail. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the home's classic appeal with a limestone foundation and retaining wall, a cozy covered front porch, and mature fruit trees including peach and apple. Inside, you'll find soaring 12-foot ceilings, ornate mantels, transoms, original woodwork, hardwoods under most carpets, and both a grand bridal staircase and a secondary back staircase. The 8x22 entry room sets the tone for this impressive home, leading into a formal dining room, living room, family room, and large laundry/mudroom. Unique touches include three original fireplaces—one with a wood burner, one gas, and one electric—as well as a powder room with an antique wash basin next to a full bath. The home is equipped with two 100-amp breaker services, two gas forced air furnaces (just needing outside condensers for central air), and a ventless gas fireplace in the living room. Recent updates include a brand-new roof and synthetic felt box gutters (June 2024). A standout feature is the walk-up attic that leads to a rooftop lookout, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The walk-out basement, located under the dining room and den, boasts 10' ceilings, limestone walls and floors, and adds flexible space for storage or future living areas. Outside, the property includes a 20x30 detached garage (sized for 3 cars), a small shed, an original smokehouse, and even an old outhouse—further adding to its historic charm. The home is connected to rural water, though a 75' deep well still exists on the property. This rare and distinctive property offers endless potential!
