About This Home

As of February 2021

This turn of the century home has seen more renovations, repairs, and updates in the last 6 years than it has in the other 115 years of its existence! Located close to downtown and Newbo, this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms home encompasses over 1600 sq/ft finished and has space for more! Originally renovated by Matthew 25 in 2015 and now again following the Derecho in August, both the interior and exteriors of this home have been refreshed! Featuring a new roof in October of 2020, new front deck and siding in 2021, fresh paint throughout most of the home, newer kitchen appliances, vinyl double pane windows, main floor laundry, original trim and hardwood floors throughout, an oversized 1 stall garage with alley access, and an unfinished 3rd level, just waiting for a facelift! Some work is still being completed, but the contractors have been hired and materials ordered, everything slated for completion, prior to closing.
