Bring your design ideas-this unique property presents an incredible opportunity to restore, update, and customize a historic masterpiece to your exact taste. Commissioned in the early 1890s by Civil War veteran J.B.T. Wheeler, the residence beautifully preserves its historic workmanship. Iconic features include a sweeping wraparound porch, a graceful central staircase, substantial moldings, leaded-glass windows, original wood floors, and glass-paneled pocket doors.

The spacious kitchen and bathrooms are ready for updates and modernization. The expansive footprint and generous room proportions provide a strong canvas for your thoughtful vision. The park-like grounds are a true outdoor sanctuary. Featuring an in-ground pool, an expansive lawn, and mature ornamental gardens, the estate has comfortably hosted gatherings of over 100 guests. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage designed to complement the property's carriage-house aesthetic, plus a separate, detached art studio nestled beneath magnificent black walnut trees-perfect for a home office, woodworking shop, or creative retreat.
