Description

A truly rare offering, this distinguished Victorian home—listed on the National Register of Historic Places—is located in Sparta’s legendary Bricktown District and rests on over an acre of in-town grounds, an exceptional feature for a property of this era. Originally built in 1865 with a thoughtfully designed addition completed in 1890, the residence showcases 12 solid brick walls and soaring 12-foot ceilings, reflecting a level of craftsmanship and architectural integrity rarely found today. The home has been meticulously and intentionally renovated with a focus on preservation, longevity, and high-end modern luxury, seamlessly blending historic character with today’s most refined comforts. Every update was carefully curated to honor the home’s original integrity while elevating it to contemporary luxury standards, resulting in a timeless yet truly move-in-ready residence. Interior highlights include original millwork, a grand primary bedroom, generously sized additional bedrooms, and a sun-filled second-floor solarium. Bathrooms exude classic elegance, featuring a claw foot tub complemented by upscale modern finishes, while a conveniently located second-floor laundry enhances everyday living. The remodeled kitchen is a statement of modern luxury, offering quartz countertops, new premium appliances, and top-tier finishes throughout. Major improvements include two new energy-efficient HVAC systems with new ductwork (2025), fully updated electrical, all new drywall, new flooring, fresh interior paint, all new fixtures, kitchen remodel, master bathroom and upstairs bathroom remodel, blown-in cellulose insulation, and professional tuck pointing—ensuring both comfort and long-term durability. Seller has also had extensive work done by a professional arborist. Roof is four year old. Additional value is found in the impressive 32' x 28' two-car garage with a full loft above, offering exceptional flexibility for a guest suite, home office, studio, or potential mother-in-law accommodations. This is a rare opportunity to own a historically significant Victorian residence enhanced by luxury-level modern updates, expansive in-town grounds, and a premier location within one of Sparta’s most iconic districts.
