About This Home
Welcome to a truly special 1905 two-story home where timeless character meets decades of love and meticulous care. Sitting on nearly half an acre in town, this property has been cherished by the same family for over 60 years, and that pride of ownership shines through every detail. Thoughtfully updated to provide peace of mind for the next owner, the home features new siding, a newer roof, updated windows, modern heating, a newer water heater, and an extraordinary foundation replacement—where the entire home was professionally lifted to create a clean, dry, and remarkably solid basement rarely seen in homes of this age. Inside, you’ll find over 1,457 sq ft of warm, inviting living space with beautiful original woodwork, 4 spacious bedrooms, and a classic front porch perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Outside, enjoy a 2-car detached garage just steps from the back door and a 30x30 Morton building ideal for a workshop, hobbies, or additional storage. This is a rare opportunity to own a historic home that blends old-world charm with modern confidence—a place ready to welcome its next chapter. 13 Mo HWA Platinum Home Warranty included!
