Property Description

A beautiful historic home on over 2 acres on the north side of Evansville is what some would call a diamond in the rough. The Hooker-Ensle-Pierce home was built in 1839 and currently sits as the oldest single family dwelling in Vanderburgh county. The long drive sets the nostalgic tone to the timelessly classic front porch that greets you inside. This area spans the entire front of the home and slows the daily pace of a hectic lifestyle. As you enter the traditional foyer, there are beautiful moldings and sight lines all the way through the back of the home. The formal dining room is the oldest original part of the home and began as a log home with a cellar underneath. Adorned with a stately fireplace and leaded glass windows, this space is one of a kind. Through the years the home was expanded and a family room and several other spaces were added. The kitchen has panoramic views of the land behind the home and provides access to the back patio. The main floor has a full bathroom and a wonderful laundry and mudroom space tucked off the back of the home. Upstairs there are 3 very large bedrooms and a full bath. The upper loft area provides an efficient office work space as well. The property surrounding this home is nothing short of wonderful. With lots of shade, expansive clearings and lush landscaping, you could easily make this setting anything you desire. There is a detached structure that provides multiple garage bays for parking or storage and even an attached separate workshop space. If you have always wanted to own a piece of history and have a love for charm, this may very well be the home of your dreams!
