About This 1872 Second Empire In Urbana Ohio
Here is a rare opportunity for a lucky buyer to breathe new life into a piece of local heritage. This beautiful home is a classic example of the Second Empire architectural style. Built in 1872, this 5BR, 2.5 story home has a stunning Chateauesque style carriage house with horse stalls intact. You can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves and the jangle of the carriage harness as the carriage creaks forward over the cobblestone floor.
Located in the Historic District, this lovely estate retains its character and original details. Intricate craftsmanship, graceful lines, a soaring staircase to the third floor, elegant windows with original shutters, hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces with exquisite mantels offer a glimpse into a storied past. The charitable foundation that owns the property is hopeful that new owners will delight in restoring this architectural masterpiece.
Prior to the foundation’s acquisition of the home, the property was vacant and will require renovations. There are two full and three half bathrooms. You’ll love the eat-in kitchen, pantry room, and laundry layout on the first floor. The house has recently serviced furnaces, central air, and a copper roof. This is your chance to own a piece of history in the heart of Urbana, Ohio. This timeless gem is waiting for the next owner to bring it to new heights of splendor and sophistication. Easy commute to Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati.
