Gorgeous Historic Victorian Home!

The home was built in 1894 for Edward J. Cornish of the famed Paxton & Gallagher Company. The home was then owned by the famous George & Sarah Joslyn (of the Joslyn Museum & the Joslyn Castle - both local tourist attractions). This stately home offers timeless elegance combined with the convenience of modern amenities.

Spacious 2-story Victorian with lots of character! The home features 4 cozy bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, parlor, living room, and countless historic details!

Enjoy watching the sunrise in the adorable breakfast nook, or reading a book on the chaise lounge in the dining room.

The living room features a Roku, a secretary desk, spacious Victorian sofa, and a bookshelf stocked with plenty of books and games.

The parlor features gorgeous original French doors, an original Victorian ornate fireplace, an antique wardrobe, comfy chairs, and a daybed with a trundle to sleep 2 guests.

Women of Color Leadership mini-retreat

The house was perfect and beautifully decorated. If you love Victorian houses, this one is pristine. It really had everything we needed. The only thing is the snowy weather and getting to the back alley with the snow to park. The alley entry was hard to get into and some of the women were afraid they would get stuck. I had an suv so parked in the garage. The host was wonderful to work with. I definitely will refer and rebook when the weather is nicer! Very nice!
