Nestled in Centralia, this 2-bed, 1-bath single-story gem is a whimsical blend of love, history, and eccentricity, rivaling the famous Winchester Mystery House (without the crazy)! Built in 1945 and cherished by multiple generations of one family for over 60 years, this home is a unique treasure. Once a two-story home, Grandma envisioned a sleeker design, so Grandpa, her devoted partner, *removed the entire second floor* for a new roofline. The result? A charming single-level haven. But the magic doesn’t stop there! Grandpa, never wasting a good staircase, transformed the original stairs into a quirky closet. The bottom steps vanished, and the remaining steps, leading to the attic—a secret passage straight from a mystery novel. Is it a closet? A staircase? A portal? You decide! Inside, 1945 charm shines with some hardwood floors (currently hidden beneath carpeting), vintage fixtures, and cozy nooks full of stories. The two bedrooms offer serene retreats, and the well-kept bathroom adds nostalgia. Beyond, find a wonderful workshop, a tinkerer’s dream for tools and projects, and a quilting/craft room, a pristine creative haven, dust-free for fabric, stitching or whatever your creative mind desires. Outside, a quaint yard beckons for gardening or relaxing under Centralia’s sky. This home is a conversation starter, a love letter to creativity, and a rare piece of history. Perfect for those who love character over cookie-cutter, it’s ready for its next chapter. **Tour this 1945 gem today!** Contact us to explore this Centralia treasure—with a shop, quilting room, and staircase to nowhere—before it’s someone else’s fairy tale. *No ghosts guaranteed, but bring your imagination!*
