About This Home

500 S Taft Street

Step into Paxton's history with the town's oldest brick home, built with enduring double-wall brick construction and showcasing timeless Greek Revival architecture accented with Italianate details. Spanning over 1,900 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence is filled with character-10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, an open staircase, arched doorways, door transoms, and beautifully preserved trim work. The handmade kitchen cabinetry, exposed brick wall, vaulted ceiling, and built-in pantry add both charm and function, while the dining room's wainscoting and shelving echo classic craftsmanship. A sunroom, medallion accents, lace curtains, and patterned wall coverings complete the home's elegance. Sitting on 5.5 lots-just over an acre-the property features elaborate gardens, mature trees, walking paths, and a decorative log cabin. Very well maintained, this remarkable property blends historic integrity with everyday comfort.
