π JUST LISTED | The Historic Quance House β 259 Western Avenue, Delhi β $1,149,000
Own a piece of Delhi history. Built in 1896 and lovingly preserved, the iconic Quance House is a grand 2.5-storey solid-brick landmark β once home to the prominent Quance family, owners of one of the last operating mills along Big Creek. Set on a rare half-acre corner lot spanning two streets, it pairs historic craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates.
Inside, soaring tin ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, original trim, and intricate architectural detail set a warm, elegant tone. You'll find 4 spacious bedrooms plus a main-floor office, 2 beautifully updated bathrooms, convenient main-floor laundry, and a refreshed kitchen that blends classic style with modern function. The formal dining room and expansive living room are made for hosting β or quiet evenings at home.
Behind the period charm: newer windows, a durable steel roof, a double furnace system, an owned hot water tank, and a Culligan water softener. The full walk-through basement adds excellent storage with bright new awning windows. Outside, the detached double-car garage includes an attached heated "man cave" β ideal for hobbies, a workshop, or game-day gatherings.
Here's the rare part: the expansive lot is severable into one large plus two good-sized building lots β and the severance application has already been started and prepaid by the seller for the next owner. Incredible upside for a builder, investor, or anyone wanting to own a landmark and unlock its potential.
Steps from Quance Park, scenic trails, and the natural beauty of Big Creek, this is a chance to own one of Delhi's most treasured homes.
Historic charm. Modern comfort. Endless potential.
