About This Home

As of January 2020

Unique and amazing opportunity to own an important piece of Merrillville history with the stately Morgan-Skinner-Boyd Homestead, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The original section of this Italianate style brick home was built in 1877 and a kitchen addition was added around 1900, along with a one-story, wood frame addition. Loaded with character and charm, the house has a beautiful ornate cupola and porches with Eastlake Movement decoration. Nine spacious rooms including a master bedroom suite. Features include original interior woodwork, hardwood floors, arched windows, tin ceilings, a claw foot bathtub in one of the 2 bathrooms, a kitchen with a huge pantry and a farmhouse sink and a basement with a brick floor. The home is situated on approximately 6 lovely acres that also includes a barn, pump house and a milk shed. Under a 40 minute drive to downtown Chicago. Bring your vision and love for old homes and restore this gem back to its original glory!
