Historic detailsTwo fireplacesCozy functional livingRomantic pergolaScreened back porchWide front porchMature trees

Welcome to Ida Rebecca—a charming 1830 cottage rich in history, once home to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Russell Baker and his beloved grandmother, for whom the home is named. Nestled along a quiet country road, this enchanting property is surrounded by lush perennial gardens, mature trees, and a romantic pergola, offering a peaceful and private retreat. Inside, the home blends period charm with modern comfort. A large, renovated country kitchen anchors the main level, while two bedrooms and 1.5 baths offer cozy, functional living. Custom mural in Living Room, wood floors, historic details, and two fireplaces—including one in the finished lower-level family room—create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Enjoy morning coffee on the wide front porch and unwind in the screened back porch overlooking the gardens. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of literary history in a truly magical setting.
