About the Listing 942 - 12166,8216

Step into a rare piece of Lebanon history with this iconic 150+ year-old home, rich with character, craftsmanship, and opportunity. Built in the early days of downtown Lebanon, this one-of-a-kind residence blends timeless architectural detail with modern flexibility on an expansive 10,000+ sq ft lot just two blocks from the heart of town. From its unique stained glass, distinctive windows, elegant period details, and oversized rooms to its welcoming gardens and mature trees, this home offers a presence and story that cannot be replicated.Once overlooking open farmland, fields, and valley views, the home still carries the charm of a bygone era while offering the space and function today’s buyers are seeking. Imagine relaxing on the upper deck and taking in the setting, or enjoying long soaks in the oversized bathrooms with classic clawfoot tubs. Designed to accommodate a full house, the kitchen features generous cabinetry, large pantry space, and three refrigerators—ideal for entertaining, extended living, rental use, or short-term stay potential.With approximately 2,400 sq ft of finished living space plus a 1,200 sq ft basement already equipped with plumbing, electrical, and gas, there is tremendous potential to expand the home to over 3,600 sq ft. Create additional living quarters, guest space, a studio, recreation area, workshop, or explore future income-producing possibilities. The large lot also offers room to consider an ADU, garden expansion, outdoor entertaining areas, or additional parking, with buyers to verify all uses.Outside, meticulous landscaping surrounds the home, supported by an 8-station sprinkler system serving approximately 48 sprinkler heads. The grounds create a private, peaceful environment while keeping you moments from restaurants, shops, services, community events, and Lebanon’s growing downtown energy.Whether used as a grand personal residence, multigenerational home, investment property, student housing, short-term rental, or a legacy restoration opportunity, this property offers far more than square footage. It is a work of art, a piece of local history, and a lifestyle—filled with warmth, elegance, flexibility, and future potential. Homes with this level of history, scale, location, and character rarely come available.
