About this home
407 Rebecca isn't just a house—it's a hometown story you get to live in, right within walking distance of Sacred Heart School and downtown.
Built in 1925, this home was crafted by the Tally family for their daughter, and it still wears its heritage with quiet pride: 10-11' ceilings, a raised foundation, and an original tiger-oak front door that sets the tone the moment you arrive.
Out front, a curved brick sidewalk and porch walk—made with local antique brick—wraps gracefully around a Japanese magnolia that turns a bold red in the fall. It's the kind of welcome that feels both intentional and timeless.
Step inside and the first four rooms remain the original heartbeat of the home: living room, dining room, and two bedrooms. The living room features an original brick mantle and built-in curio cabinets, plus updated/lined chimneys that bring peace of mind while keeping the character intact. Steel French doors in Bedroom 1 are sturdy and well insulated, and the dining room includes a smart storage/utility closet (with a 10' ladder included).
Then comes the best kind of surprise: a 2021 addition, designed over years of real-life living and built to feel like it was always meant to be here. Everything beyond the original rooms is new construction on a slab, with new HVAC, new roof, excellent insulation, and no drainage issues—all while respecting the home's original soul.
Special care was taken to keep the look authentic: repurposed original windows and wood doors carry the character forward, trim details stay consistent, and you'll even find original 'wavy' glass in many windows. The doorknobs are new—so they work like they should—yet still look beautifully period-correct.
The main bath nods to classic style with subway tile, a practical tub that's great for kids or dogs, and vintage-inspired finishes. A true laundry room adds the kind of everyday comfort you'll appreciate immediately—washer and dryer included, plus generous shelving and storage.
The primary suite is its own quiet retreat, designed for rest: double-insulated walls, a layout that feels calm, and a walk-in closet already outfitted with rods, shelving, bins, and shoe cubbies—ready now, with room to customize later. The primary bath includes a custom vanity, private water closet, and custom shower, with an eyebrow window that welcomes morning light. And in the hallway, custom stained glass by Kyle Baughman turns sunrise into soft color and prisms.
In the kitchen, old and new shake hands perfectly: a textured 'suede-finish' island with abundant custom storage, a repurposed antique double farm sink with running boards, black granite counters, a large pantry cabinet, and warm natural light pouring through eyebrow windows. Barstools stay, and the appliances are about 4 years old.
Out back, the property keeps giving: a fenced backyard with a double drive-in gate, a newer privacy fence, and a separately fenced dog area with direct access from the primary. The poured patio includes an unforgettable feature—an antique repurposed 'party sink.' There's also a concrete pad perfect for a grill setup or extra parking, plus room for a fire pit, hot tub, or pool. A functional storage shed is on-site (the lock will need to be cut—key has gone missing).
Behind the yard: an access alley and a wooded buffer that makes it quiet and private, with great neighbors on both sides.
Known items: minor water damage at the bottom of the side door (repairable per the builder), and an office closet may need a hanging rod. Much of the furniture and art is negotiable (with a few sentimental pieces excluded).
407 Rebecca is the rare kind of home that feels collected, not constructed—a 1925 original with a 2021 refresh, and a location that lets you leave the car at home and simply enjoy the neighborhood....
