The Story of Me: This Historic House in North Newton They call me “this historic house,” and I wear the title with pride. I carry the character of years gone by, etched into the woodwork, whispered through my floorboards, and reflected in the sunlight that filters through my sycamores. One hundred years is looking younger all the time! I've been taken very good care of by the families who've called me home, each one leaving their own mark in thoughtful updates, tender care, and a whole lot of love. I've watched seasons come and go from my perch here in North Newton. Spring brings birdsong and the return of the House Finches who nest in the basket just outside the dining room window. Summer? That's when the porch really shines. I remember lemonade glasses sweating on the railing, a dog curled up at my owner's feet, and cookies fresh from the oven cooling in the kitchen that now gleams with brand-new appliances. My strong bones carry my 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2-car garage very well, solid and steady, with room for both everyday living and cherished traditions. My garage even has enough space for a workbench, ready for your tools, tinkering, or weekend projects. At some point in time, someone decided I needed a little more to give, and so they added a cozy den, a perfect study, sitting room, or quiet retreat. I like to think of it as a sign of how much life has always been lived within these walls. I've been lovingly cared for, freshly painted from room to room, my porch rebuilt in 2016, and my roof replaced in 2022, just to name a few. I remember the pride in the homeowner's eyes when the main floor bathroom was gutted and transformed with the biggest onyx shower they could find in 2017. What a showpiece that is! Children once raced up and down my stairs, and I still have the hardware at the top where a baby gate once stood, just in case someone new needs it. Tucked in a bedroom closet, the gate still waits, ready to be useful again for the next generation. If you look closely down the porch steps and at the end of the driveway, you'll find handprints, small and imperfect, pressed there years ago by children who once called me home. They left their mark on me, and I carry it proudly. On warm afternoons, you might even find children shooting hoops in the drive while the orioles sing from the trees. And now, I've gotten a little dressed up, thanks to a LoveLee lady who brought fresh life to my main floor and primary bedroom. With thoughtful touches and cozy charm, she's helped create a vision of how you and your family might live, gather, and grow here. Not every room needed her touch, just enough to help you feel the warmth I've always carried. As for the porch? She's already perfect, waiting for your favorite porch swing. I sit on 0.35 acres, which means there's space for dreams to grow. I've imagined gardens here, maybe a new playset or a small workshop. I'm just a short walk from Cottonwood Park, where you'll find playground equipment. Also nearby are walking paths and pickleball courts, perfect for family fun or peaceful moments. Bethel College is just a few blocks away, and in the fall, I can hear the marching band practicing early in the mornings as they prepare for Friday night lights. There's no need to fight for parking on game nights. Just grab a sweater and stroll over. And when the breeze is just right, you'll hear the gentle chimes from the church on campus echo through my windows like a hymn. Located in the heart of North Newton, I've loved the small-town feel with quick access to Bethel College, I-135, and Old Highway 81, making it as convenient for my owners as it is charming. I've seen love, laughter, quiet moments, and big life changes. I've been more than just shelter. I've been part of the story. And now, I'm ready for someone new to call me home. Let's make new memories together. With heart, This Historic House
