OPEN HOUSE-SUN NOV 10th 12-2 Discover the timeless charm of the Lundy House, a lovingly preserved historic gem nestled in downtown Gosport. Built around 1908 by Charles S. & Mary Ellen Lundy, this property offers a remarkable glimpse into a bygone era while providing modern comforts. Known as Gosport’s 1st home with indoor plumbing, the Lundy House brims with original character, heritage & carefully maintained details that each generation of owners has treasured. The home’s history is as captivating as its architecture. First used as a boarding home by Charles & Mary Ellen Lundy, it later became home to the Hodges family, with Thomas Hodges fondly remembered as a local teacher & coach in the 1930s & 40’s. In 1944, Taylor & Anna Bartley purchased the property, passing it to their son Hugh, who then sold it to Larry & Peggy Snodgrass in 1967. As devoted stewards, Larry & Peggy took pride in preserving the home’s historic features for decades. Peggy’s gardens & vibrant summer kitchen reflected her passion for herbs, crafts & nature, transforming the double lot into a peaceful oasis filled with flowers, a beautiful fenced yard & an inviting inground pool with a new pump. The wraparound porch, root cellar & even a newly installed roof ensured its continued endurance. Inside, history comes alive with a time capsule of architectural craftsmanship. Don’t miss the original floors hidden under colorful carpet. Beyond the home’s walls, the convenience of small-town living awaits. A short walk away, you’ll find the SommHerrs Bakery, local pizza & so much more. This charming historic home is not just a residence; it’s a vibrant piece of the community. The detached 3 car garage, complete with rough-in plumbing, offers ample space for workspace & storage. With all the original details still intact, the Lundy House feels like a time capsule. For those seeking a timeless residence with modern-day amenities & a sense of legacy, the Lundy House invites you to become part of its story.
