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.

The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook and prepare meals. We have an electric stove, microwave, air fryer, full-size refrigerator, Ninja bullet blender, ZeroWater purifier pitcher, drip & Keurig coffee maker, milk frother, and a cute breakfast nook where you can enjoy the sunrises!

The dining room features a large table that seats 6, along with a chaise lounge and an antique trunk filled with games for the whole family!

The main floor bathroom is fully stocked with toiletries. Features include a shower/tub with detachable shower hose, water purifier, a bidet and a large vanity.

The four bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping arrangements, with a range of soft & firm pillows and mattresses, and luxury cotton/microfiber sheets to reach your desired comfort level. There are also 2 Japanese futon floor mattresses located in the upstairs bedrooms for additional sleeping accommodations.

The basement features a laundry room fully stocked with laundry soap, stain remover, & dryer sheets. The rest of the basement is currently under construction but will soon feature a completely separate 2nd apartment unit :)

Be sure to check out the butterfly garden out back and all the colorful flowers in bloom.

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!
