Description:
Step into Carthage history with the former Luke Home — an exquisite Classical Revival residence built in the 1890s. Constructed with brick imported from England and accented by a stunning Carthage marble exterior, this architectural masterpiece showcases timeless craftsmanship throughout its four levels and 21 rooms.
Inside, discover six uniquely designed fireplaces, five original pocket doors, intricate stained glass, and rich oak and maple woodwork that speak to the home's exceptional artistry. The grand dual staircases and elegant porte-cochère add to its stately character, while thoughtful updates complement its enduring beauty.
The matching carriage house, once home to horses, now serves as a detached garage with a spacious loft area—offering endless possibilities for a studio or guest quarters. A partially finished basement features a workshop area, ideal for hobbyists or craftspeople.
This remarkable property offers five bedrooms and sits on nearly three-quarters of an acre, complete with a modern 16x40 RV garage accessible from the alley.
Truly one of Carthage's historic treasures, the Luke Home blends period elegance with practical living—an unmatched opportunity to own a piece of local heritage.
