215 N Jackson St., Huntingburg, IN 47542 listing details

A FEELING OF OLD WORLD CHARM is evident as you enter "George", the original Blemker house built in 1856 in Huntingburg. Step into the central hall, meet Caroline dressed in the style of yesteryear. To the left is the parlor with pressed metal-faced fireplace and easy access to an eat-in country kitchen with vintage fabric-draped copboards. To the right is the spacious master bedroom with private bath, including a vanity and shelving built from the home's excess internal wood. Straight ahead in the central hall is the "servant's room" and office (former canning room) leading to an exit into the large backyard. A swaying rope swing hints at echos of children's squeals and laughter. The winding staircase in the central hall leads to three additional bedrooms and a common bathroom. Because of its unique character and history, this home was featured twice in Huntingburg's Christmas Stroll (2010 and 2011). Make no mistake, some enhancements have been made to meet today's standard of living; priced below recent appraisal...come enjoy a new type of life in a comfortable historic family setting!
