About This Home
Welcome to 609 E Salem Ave—a timeless 2-story craftsman that’s full of charm, character, and just the right touch of updates! From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the wide trim, tall ceilings, and original hardwood floors that make this home so inviting.
With 3 bedrooms plus a 4th non-conforming room, there’s plenty of space to spread out. The home has 2 bathrooms, including an upstairs bath with double pedestal sinks and a tiled shower. The layout flows nicely and gives you that perfect balance of historic details with modern conveniences.
Outside, the large vinyl-fenced yard is ready for backyard BBQs, a playset, or simply relaxing in your own space. The 2-car detached garage adds even more functionality. Plus, big-ticket items have already been taken care of—like a new water heater and furnace in 2022.
This home is truly a rare find at this price point, offering character you just don’t see every day. And the location? Just blocks from Indianola High School and Middle School.
Come take a look—you’ll love what this home has to offer!
