Hugh Lewis Home

Originally, this 1889 farmhouse stood as the centerpiece of an extensive horse farm, occupying the entire tract from Titcomb over to Fair Street. Over the decades, the land was subdivided into smaller plots, and new houses began to emerge in the 1960s. Despite these changes, the farmhouse remained a testament to the area's rich agricultural heritage.

It was purchased and renovated completely in 2015 retaining the farmhouse character. Their restoration project was meticulous, ensuring that the historic farmhouse retained its authentic charm. The original structure lacked studs, presenting a unique challenge. Through careful engineering, the owners successfully insulated the home and upgraded essential systems, including plumbing, wiring, and HVAC, without compromising its historic integrity.

One of the standout features of the restored farmhouse is the preservation of its original wavy glass windows. These unique panes add a distinctive character that is rare in modern homes. Additionally, the longleaf pine curly wood was expertly stripped and varnished, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era. The original beadboard was repurposed into elegant wainscoting on the side porch and utility room. The kitchen ceiling was meticulously reproduced to mirror the original beadboard and painted a serene blue, creating a perfect blend of old and new. The original front doors of the farmhouse are a highlight of the restoration. Featuring frosted and etched glass, these doors not only enhance the home's aesthetic appeal but also serve as a direct link to its storied past.
