Description

A rare gem of New Richmond history is entering the local market?an exquisite, stately property built in 1891 that stands as a proud testament to the city?s enduring spirit. Located on a prominent corner lot at Knowles and Sixth and known as the Sylvester S. Beebe House, this remarkable building sits on just over half an acre and is one of the few treasured structures to have withstood the fury of the infamous New Richmond cyclone of 1899. Over the years, it has evolved gracefully, most recently serving as a commercial space on the main level while housing a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment on the upper level, complete with its own private entrance. A meticulous restoration has brought new life to this architectural masterpiece, blending modern convenience with the timeless character of a bygone era. Much of the rich woodwork and accents on the main level have been maintained. Updates include all-new cement board siding, roofs, foundation reinforcement, and energy-efficient Anderson windows and doors to the rich oak millwork, six-panel solid oak doors, and custom cabinetry, every inch of the interior reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and careful preservation. Behind the walls, essential systems like electrical, ductwork, insulation, and flooring have been updated, ensuring the home is as functional as it is beautiful. The detached one-car garage, freshly renovated in 2025 with new siding, roof, garage door and opener, and interior wall adds to the property?s appeal. A spacious, covered front porch and a wheelchair-accessible ramp provide a warm and welcoming entrance, completing this once-in-a-lifetime offering. Off street parking for customers or guests. For those seeking a rare blend of historic significance, architectural elegance, and modern reliability?this landmark property is truly unparalleled.
