A historic property, this kit home came via the railway in 1917 from Montgomery Wards. Several homes in Brookings came via the railway, such as both of the grand Fishback grand Mansions on 8th st, which were ordered from the Sears catalouge. Truly beautiful woodwork thru out, a custom built sunroom with oak window casings , 2 sets of french doors, built in glass cabinets and other architechural details make this home a vintage work of art. This home has been compeletly renovated in 2010 to include new kitchen, new cabinets & sink, new hardwood floors, new bathroom fixtures, new carpet, new electric service, new wiring for kitchen & bathrooms, new sewer drain to the street, new interior & exterior painting, and addition of central air and updated furnace. A double bay garage with attached workshop offers additional parking for 4 cars + (2 in garage) from the Alley behind the home and offers a rare cement slab, parking spot off of 3rd st, for guests to enter thru the front door. This property was part of a larger parcel of land that belonged originally to the neighbor just to the west. However, during Prohibition, these folks were raided by the police for having an illegal still, for making alcohol. The land my house sits on was sold off to pay for court fee and fines. And 1211 on 3rd street, was nestled into the landscape and built on this parcel. A truly special location, as the homes on each side and accross the street exhibit outstanding craftsmanship, and a drive down the street will prove that. We are honored and happy to own this beautiful home and to be part of the History of Brookings. This city likes to tear down all the old houses to sell to SDSU or to build simple looking boxes called homes. In an era of poor quality components mixed with a lack of imagination in archetecture, this home and the neighbors homes are Priceless gems, never to be seen again historical value & craftsmanship.
