Step into the charm and character of downtown living in this beautifully preserved historic home originally built around 1885 for Cicero Duncan, a local railroad engineer. Rich in history and thoughtfully designed for modern-day comfort, this one-of-a-kind property offers timeless architecture, spacious living, and rare conveniences seldom found in historic homes. From the moment you arrive, the inviting front porch and classic curb appeal set the tone for what's inside. The home features a highly sought-after first-floor primary suite, creating a comfortable and convenient retreat. Throughout the home, historic charm blends seamlessly with elegant finishes and welcoming gathering spaces. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen featuring granite countertop s, custom cabinetry with crown detail, designer lighting, and a spacious layout perfect for entertaining or everyday living. The open flow into the living spaces creates a warm and inviting atmosphere ideal for hosting family and friends. Upstairs, you'll find an additional spacious suite with two closets and a stunning bath featuring a clawfoot tub, dual sinks, and an oversized shower. An upstairs sitting area and adjacent office space provide flexibility for relaxing, working from home, or creating the perfect reading nook or media space. Outside, the nearly quarter-acre fenced backyard offers a rare downtown oasis complete with a dedicated firepit area--perfect for cool evenings, gatherings with friends, or relaxing under the stars. A backyard shed adds convenient storage for tools, hobbies, or outdoor equipment, while the expansive yard still provides plenty of room for entertaining, gardening, or pets.
