Dear Future Owner,

I am excited to present you with a unique opportunity. Seriously! When the town of Magnolia was established in 1885 it consisted of a mere 3 homes: 24 S State Street, 12 N Main Street, and 28 W Walnut Street. Through the years, these three homes have watched the Town of Magnolia evolve and grow to over 5,000 homes.

In Fall 2020, we had the amazing opportunity to purchase the farm house on West Walnut Street, which was in pretty rough condition at the time, and restore it not simply to its former glory but into a blend of old and new. However, the truth of the matter is that 28 W Walnut Street is actually more new at this point than it is old. Yes, it is made up of the same frame and the same foundation. Yes, we kept the original pocket doors. Yes, we refurbished and highlighted the original Red Oak Staircase. However, what we've created is a fusion of the beauty and history of this house and the modern convenience and comfort of new construction. New electrical system, new plumbing, new...windows, doors, insulation, HVAC.... you get the idea. Through the "studs out demo" and total rebuild, we had the privilege of redesigning the second floor to bring modern touches to a classic farmhouse. We also added 300 sqft of living space by adding a half bath off of the breakfast bar and a nice size flex room adjacent to the kitchen. And by converting an enclosed porch, we were able to expand the kitchen, allowing us to rearrange the space and set up a hibachi style stove and bar arrangement. When we first saw the pocket doors, we knew we loved the endless possibilities they provided and knew we had to retain and restore them! Whether closed to partition the space into individual areas or slid open to provide the entire first floor with a generous open concept, the possibilities are astounding!

I could go on and on about the love and care we put into this project for the last two and a half years, and delve into all of the blood sweat and tears involved, but instead let me simply say we are so excited to pass on this beautiful custom home and are so proud of its uniqueness, personality, and heritage. We want you to find pride of ownership in a home that is like no other. We're extremely excited to pass on its legacy and can't wait to see what is next for 28 W Walnut Street. We hope that you will find as much joy in living here, as we did making it into the home that it is today.

Sincerely, The Owners
