Property Description

Own a piece of history! Just like new construction, but with a story. And with a view of Sugarloaf mountain! Your own private pond as well? This doesn't seem real. This is a complete 2026 historical rehab of an original Roger Johnson House by local award-winning custom home builder, C.E. Rensberger and Family. The talented team took the home down to the original foundation and oak framing, preserving original materials from the home and salvaging as much as possible. And you'll be able to see the craftsmanship, details, and time spent on the restoration of this home and the newly constructed addition. The original home boasts very high ceilings on all three levels. With careful consideration of its rich history, the Rensberger team has rehabbed the home for more modern living, including a whole new addition that speaks to the past, bringing the bed/bath count to 4 oversized bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a half bath. As you enter the tree-lined driveway, it's apparent that this is a special place. The tear drop drive allows you to either park in the new, 2-car detached garage, at the back of the home to enter in the family entrance, or towards the front of the home with its grand, covered front porch that overlooks the pasture and Sugarloaf mountain. The builder has even lovingly restored the front doorbell, truly an ode to the home and its history. Upon entering the home, you'll find the oversized dining room with working fireplace which flows to the kitchen. To your right is the parlor, the original place that the family used to greet, receive, and entertain guests. Mr. Johnson may have been discussing the work his Urbana furnace could do for the war (1812). This room now opens to the newly constructed portion of the home complete with a half bath, and the primary luxury full bath and closet with a 2nd laundry hook-up. This connects to the main floor primary bedroom. And the kitchen! A chef's dream with all the modern appliances. The gorgeous stove and hood are really the centerpiece of the home. The oversized, quartz island is the perfect place to entertain. An excess of cabinets and counters allow space for the perfect backing spot, or coffee station. The interior selections are sublime. A nod to the past (but also a reflection of current modern tastes), you'll appreciate the bold colors in the parlor room, the soft, wood tones in the kitchen that compliment the gold fixtures and paint colors on both floors. And the original wooden floors have been restored, with beautiful notches and lines. The arrival upstairs is sunlit and open. A landing with enough room to allow for a chair, reading nook, or desk. You'll also find a 2nd primary bedroom with fireplace that opens to a luxury, full bathroom and a shared hall with laundry. The 3rd bedroom with glass windows and fireplace opens up to its very own library, a space preserved and reimagined by the Builder to complement the 3rd bedroom. Bedroom 4 is part of the new construction and shares a new bathroom with bedroom 3. Downstairs in the walk-up basement, you'll find a large space with a rough-in, which would be easy to finish and have a large rec room, another full bathroom, and wine cellar. The original root cellar has also been restored - perfect for all the produce you can get from a garden, or would also be the perfect wine cellar since it is humidity and climate controlled. This home is undeniably unique. Urbana offers very few properties like this each year. Included in the list price is the restoration of the pond as well. You won't want to miss out on calling this home!
