Historical Homes
Perched atop the highest point in Lee County, The Spencer House is a remarkable example of enduring American architecture. Originally built in 1821 and gracefully expanded in the 1840s with a refined Greek Revival addition, this stately residence is set on 1.6 acres of lush grounds. Its commanding presence is defined by double verandas, grand columns, and a stunning sunburst window that adorns the upper facade.
Stepping inside, you are greeted by twin parlors, a formal dining room, and an elegantly updated kitchen that blends modern amenities with timeless charm. Original heart pine floors and 12-foot ceilings preserve the home’s historical character, while eight original fireplaces add to its warmth and grandeur.
Recent restorations include modern wiring, HVAC systems, and additional foundation reinforcements, ensuring the home’s structural integrity for generations to come. With nearly 1000 square feet of unfinished space, the property offers ample room for personal touches and customization. Also on the grounds is a separate, two-story building with 712 square feet of heated and cooled space, formerly used as a sewing shop.
The Spencer House is more than just a home; it’s a perfect fusion of history and luxury, standing ready to embrace its next chapter in the hands of a discerning owner who appreciates its unique heritage.
