About This Home

As of January 2025

Discover the timeless elegance of Hanshaw House, a stunning 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence nestled on a picturesque 1.6-acre lot. Built in 1835 and tastefully expanded in 1993, this classic home was once a beloved bed and breakfast and the original Hanshaw family homestead.

Distinctive spaces throughout the home offer perfect locales to relax and reflect. The property features beautifully landscaped grounds with a variety of plantings, vibrant flowers, lush bushes, mature trees, and a serene pond, creating a tranquil retreat.
