Cross Streets: ROLPH. ** Directions: Rolph Street between Ridout St W and Washington Grand. Own a Piece of Tillsonburg History: The Leachman Residence. Rarely does a home of such narrative and craft come to market. Built in 1876, The Leachman Residence is a masterclass in Italianate architecture, standing as a testament to 150 years of care and character. Your journey begins on the west-facing covered porch, the perfect vantage point for golden hour. Step through the foyer to find a home defined by scale: soaring 10'5" ceilings and a breathtaking curved oak staircase uniquely accented with maple, walnut, and chestnut. This is a home built with a level of craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated today. The main floor is a showcase of elegance, featuring 10" baseboards, 8" trim, and exquisite original mouldings. Beneath your feet lies a hidden treasure: simply stunning original red pine tongue-and-groove boards. While the front of the home celebrates the formal with its grand living and dining parlors, the rear of the residence is designed for modern connection. A 1980s addition introduced a sprawling Family Room and Office, anchored by a massive stone fireplace with a rustic wood-beam mantle, offering a cozy sanctuary for everyday life. Three massive bedrooms continue the theme of height and light, where the 10'5" ceilings create an airy, suite-like atmosphere in each. Situated on a lush quarter-acre with close proximity to downtown Tillsonburg's amenities, the property is a gardener's dream. Stroll through picturesque perennial gardens to find a vintage potting shed straight out of a storybook and a detached two-car garage. Request the extensive detailed feature sheet of this Historic Gem and step back in time to discover the soul of 94 Rolph Street. It is more than an address .. it is a legacy! (id:27476)
