Property Description

Built in 1909 and located just blocks from downtown Rifle, The McLearn House is one of those rare homes where the history feels preserved rather than merely maintained. Over the years, the home has been thoughtfully updated while honoring the character and craftsmanship that make Victorian homes so appealing. A landscaped front yard with mature shrubs and seasonal wildflowers leads to a welcoming covered front porch. Inside, original details are paired with updates that respect the home's history while enhancing both function and design. Restored woodwork, thoughtfully selected lighting, an updated kitchen and bathrooms, and carefully considered design details reflect years of thoughtful stewardship. The home offers four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms across multiple levels, creating flexibility for family, guests, work, and hobbies. The main floor includes a living room, formal dining room, game room, and a spacious kitchen that serves as the heart of the home. Granite countertops, generous storage, upgraded appliances, and a fireplace make it equally suited to everyday living and entertaining. The second floor includes two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom with a jetted tub. The finished attic serves as a primary suite complete with an ensuite bathroom and instant hot water. Outside, the fenced backyard offers a quiet place to gather, garden, soak in the hot tub, or simply enjoy the seasons. Two storage sheds provide additional utility, while the oversized garage offers ample room for vehicles, projects, and workshop space. Just as important are the improvements you don't immediately see. Major updates over the years include the metal roof, boiler heating system with hot-water sidearm, sewer line, plumbing, electrical panel, interior and exterior paint, lighting, and kitchen appliances. For buyers who appreciate historic homes, The McLearn House offers something increasingly difficult to find: original character, modern functionality, and a long history of thoughtful stewardship.
