About This Home
As of October 2025First time buyers and investment opportunity for small-town, acreage living at 400 8th Ave! This property offers endless potential with just over 2 acres and a large outbuilding that could serve as a workshop, garage, or extra living quarters. Enjoy the peaceful town of Defiance where pride shows in every corner—from the sidewalks that feature craft fairs to the nearby city park just a short stroll away. This cozy home features convenient main-floor living with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room. The owner started the project to turn the formerly third bedroom into a laundry area that attaches to the bathroom. Hook ups are there with room for new owners to make it into their own vision.
