About this home
Welcome to 238 Brown Street, a truly one-of-a-kind 1812 historic home offering remarkable flexibility, timeless character, and a story all its own. Long rumored to have once served as the Springville Inn and Stagecoach Stop, this expansive property preserves the craftsmanship and charm of a bygone era while incorporating the modern updates today’s homeowners appreciate. Rich in original character and complemented by significant investments in comfort, efficiency, and functionality, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds. The current owner has thoughtfully upgraded the home to make maintaining and stewarding this incredible property easier. Highlights include 14 mini-split units throughout, a propane heating system with underground tank installed in 2022, an on-demand hot water heater, 3 keyless entries, and a complete reimagining of the lower level into a versatile living space. With multiple living areas, three separate entrances, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a finished attic, a reimagined lower level with 3 handmade wood doors created from trees on the property, unusually high ceilings for an 1812 home, and a detached multi-car garage with 4 additional off-street parking spaces, the home offers outstanding flexibility. The layout can function as one large single-family residence or provide private spaces ideal for multigenerational living, guest quarters, work-from-home space, studio use, or other creative arrangements. A full-width covered Trex front porch welcomes you and serves both front entrances. Inside the main living area are generous room sizes, hardwood flooring, deep window sills, crown molding, chair rail detail, recessed lighting, and a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace anchoring the living room. The dining room continues the same classic character with ample space for large gatherings. Toward the rear, the kitchen features upgraded counters, hardwood flooring, 42-inch cabinetry, a breakfast nook, and newer appliances, including a dishwasher, electric range/oven, built-in microwave, and refrigerator. Off the sunroom/kitchen is an oversized rear deck overlooking greenery and the fenced backyard. A powder room with marble flooring and a laundry room with storage add everyday convenience. One of the home’s standout spaces is the elongated kitchen and patio area, finished with hardwood flooring and a stone accent wall. It is ideal as a reading room, library, sitting room, or quiet retreat. Upstairs, the main living quarters include a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet, exposed beams, crown molding, chair rail, ceiling fan, and a large private bath featuring a new large shower with multiple shower heads, double vanity with marble top, heated towel rack, linen closet, and tile flooring. The finished third floor adds more usable space with exposed beams, new carpeting, and a full bath. The additional living area has its own front entrance from the porch and includes a living room/dining room/kitchenette-style space on the main level, with three bedrooms and a full hall bath upstairs. This area provides excellent separation while remaining connected to the residence. The lower level has been completely revamped into one of the property’s most useful and versatile spaces. With interior access or a private entrance, it boasts a full bath, kitchenette area, second stone fireplace, and abundant finished living space. It offers exceptional potential as a private retreat, guest space, teen suite, hobby area, studio, or separate living quarters. For investors or those seeking multi-family living, many areas can be sectioned off and incorporated into either side of the home. This truly unique property is ready for its next steward, whether someone looking to call it home or seeking a versatile property with multi-family potential....
