Professionally Restored Historic Gem in the Heart of Wine Country
Step into Defiance history—with a modern-day glow-up. Built in 1915 and now completely reimagined by a local homebuilder and professional interior designer, this 110-year-old farmhouse has been given new life with a full restoration that blends old-world charm and today’s luxuries. This is no ordinary flip—this is craftsmanship with soul, even includes a wine cellar!
From the moment you step onto the covered front porch (with ceiling fan and cedar columns), you’ll feel the attention to detail. Inside, original hardwood floors have been lovingly restored, the staircase hand-sanded and refinished, and every inch of this home has been rethought. Walls opened. Flow improved. Light maximized.
You’ll find all new drywall, insulation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and water heater—so while the character is 1915, the function is 2025....
You’ll find all new drywall, insulation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and water heater—so while the character is 1915, the function is 2025. The custom kitchen features soft sage cabinetry, GE Energy Star stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a real wood island top that warms the room with natural texture. Designer lighting, gold hardware, and restored wood trim create a perfect balance of timeless and trendy.
The open dining room flows into a cozy living area framed by restored millwork and sunlight. A charming sunroom offers two walls of windows—ideal for morning coffee or a glass of local wine. Upstairs, bedrooms showcase preserved architectural lines and fresh, airy finishes. Both bathrooms feature ceramic tile, stylish fixtures, and a designer’s eye for contrast and comfort.
Step outside to your new cedar deck overlooking the private backyard, or wave to neighbors from your picture-perfect front porch. Even the details were handled—new cellar doors, windows, front door, and hardware—it’s move-in ready from top to bottom.
Located in the center of historic Defiance, this home sits within walking distance to restaurants, live music, bars, and the specialty meat market that make this town a weekend destination for many—and a forever home for the lucky few.
And here’s the cherry on top: the buyer will have first right of refusal on the neighboring property (Lot 13), including the structurally sound two-story barn, for an additional $50,000—an opportunity rarely available in this location. See photos of barn in supplements. New Roof coming on the barn.
This additional lot has the potential to be zoned commercial.
Don’t miss this one—homes this charming, walkable, and truly turnkey don’t come up in Defiance often.
