Description
If the return of Practical Magic has you dreaming of a house with a little more soul, a little more history and maybe even a little magic, Herring House might be the one you've been waiting for. Built in 1860 and set on 2.6 acres in the heart of Brunswick, this extraordinary Victorian offers approximately 4,400 square feet of the kind of character that simply can't be recreated. Step through the front door and you're greeted by soaring ceilings, a dramatic spiraling staircase, intricate original millwork, richly patterned walls and rooms that feel collected over generations rather than designed overnight. Seven fireplaces anchor the home's living spaces, joined by ornate mantels, bay windows, period lighting and beautifully preserved woodwork. Formal living and dining rooms give way to a kitchen thoughtfully updated for modern life while respecting the architecture around it. A library, sitting room and sunroom add to the home's wonderfully rambling character. Then there's the third-story tower, perhaps the most enchanting space of all, waiting to become a writing room, studio, library or private retreat. Outside, an expansive front porch overlooks mature grounds, while an original water tower and summer kitchen add another layer to the property's remarkable history. With 2.6 acres, there is room for gardens, gatherings and creating a world that feels entirely your own. Herring House isn't trying to recreate the Practical Magic aesthetic. It has the history, architecture and beautifully imperfect character that inspired our love for homes like it in the first place. For anyone who's ever wished the Owens house were real, Missouri may have been keeping a little secret.
