About This Home
An extraordinary opportunity for the historic-home enthusiast! This imposing 19-room Victorian residence—built in 1885 for banker Frank Morse—offers approximately 4,597 sq ft of living area, 4-bedrooms and 4-full baths on a large corner double lot. A true example of the Italianate style, the home retains remarkable original features including a sweeping walnut staircase, three fireplaces, ornate wood trim, solid doors, and a beautifully bracketed cornice. The exterior showcases a newly rebuilt covered front porch, original brick construction, and the architectural presence only a home of this era can provide. While the property requires significant renovation, the groundwork is set for a rewarding restoration, with the interior fully cleared and a new roof installed in 2022. This is an exceptional chance to bring a historic treasure back to its full luster and create a stunning forever home. Indiana Landmarks Historical Covenants apply, requiring a reasonable renovation plan, approval of exterior work, and single-family owner-occupied use. A rare opportunity to steward one of the community’s architectural gems. Buyers may receive a $10,000 credit once the renovations are completed within 18 months of purchase and city of Wabash issues an occupancy permit.
