Overview

Constructed circa 1850, this distinguished brick residence remains one of Warsaw's most notable examples of nineteenth-century residential architecture. Now, it offers an extraordinary opportunity for its next steward to preserve its history while shaping its future. Featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, soaring ceilings, original woodwork, wide-plank floors, substantial masonry construction, and an elegant curved staircase, the home retains many of the architectural elements that define its historic character. Limestone lintels above the windows and doorways, decorative masonry details, and historic star-shaped tie rod anchors reflect the quality and craftsmanship of its era. Affectionately nicknamed "The Hancock County Castle" by its current owner because of its castle-inspired appearance and handcrafted gargoyles, the property has recently undergone an extensive clean-out, providing the next owner with a valuable head start toward restoration. Offered strictly As-Is, this exceptional property is ideal for preservationists, craftsmen, investors, or anyone inspired to honor its past while preparing it for generations to come. Historic homes are more than real estate—they are pieces of a community's story. If you've been searching for extraordinary character, enduring craftsmanship, and the opportunity to leave your own legacy, this historic residence is ready for its next steward.
