Built circa 1830 and predating the founding of New Athens itself, this extraordinary and unapologetically unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while creating something entirely your own. Public historical records associate the home with the earliest days of the village and with Narcisse Pensoneau, founder of New Athens and one of the area's early river transportation entrepreneurs. With more than 4,434 square feet, this is not a home for someone seeking ordinary. This is a property for visionaries, preservation enthusiasts, creatives, investors, entrepreneurs, and buyers who understand that some homes are projects worth pursuing. Over nearly two centuries, the property has evolved through multiple additions and chapters, resulting in a fascinating floor
