71 N Main St, Waynesville, OH 45068

A rare chance to own a piece of Waynesville history! Built in 1901 as Main Street recovered from the fire of 1900, the Charles Cornell House is a breathtaking Queen Anne with a story to tell. Once a village doctor's home and practice and later a tea room, it is now stop No. 7 on the Waynesville walking tour. Its yellow-brick facade, ornate trim and expansive columned porch make a memorable first impression. Inside, Victorian charm unfolds across three floors with 12-foot ceilings, 9-foot oak doors, beautiful stained-glass windows and intricate crown molding. Solid oak doors, pocket doors, a grand oak staircase and sanded and refinished yellow pine floors celebrate the craftsmanship that makes this home special. Fireplaces in the family and dining rooms add character, while high-end Casablanca ceiling fans complement the interiors. The commercial-style kitchen blends original cabinetry with granite countertops, a brand-new six-burner gas stove/oven and a kitchen fire-suppression system, recalling the home's days of welcoming guests for tea. Updates include a newly updated dining room with new wood flooring, a roof replaced in 2026 and new third-floor windows. A newly enclosed patio room adds another inviting space, with natural gas heat, basement laundry and a second-floor laundry hookup providing everyday convenience. Out back, a private garden oasis feels like a retreat from Main Street. Paths wind through terraced garden beds to a fish pond, footbridge and gazebo, surrounded by mature plantings and a newer privacy fence. From quiet mornings on the porch to evenings in the garden, this home offers a setting as distinctive as its history.
