Beaverdale didn't grow around this house, the house was here first! Built in 1882 by George Washington Hickman, this remarkable brick farmhouse predates the neighborhood that grew up around it. Once part of the Hickman family farm, where early city directories document family members as fruit growers, this home offers a direct connection to Beaverdale's rural roots. With 1,932 sq ft, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, one on each level, it combines history with everyday livability. Original character shines through with pine plank floors, detailed woodwork, tall ceilings, transom windows and built-ins. The home was large enough for the original Hickman family and their 11 children! Thoughtfully updated over the decades, including a renovation in 1980 and later improvements to the roof, HVAC, electrical and kitchen. Mature trees, brick patio and fenced yard complete this one-of-a-kind setting. This isn't simply a historic home in Beaverdale, it's part of the story of how Beaverdale came to be.
