In 1925 EW Grove recorded the plat for Grovemont, 'The Model Town' with the intention of creating the ideal neighborhood. He died in 1927 leaving his dream incomplete but also leaving a handful of very special Arts & Crafts homes; these homes are now highly desired historical treasures. This is one of the originals, bright and solid, from the master builder who created the other Grove treasures. The nation’s first planned community. Charming 1927 Spanish influence home with decorative wood beams and hardwood floors. Rarely are these historic Arts and Crafts homes on the market. There was some water damage during recent storm, so TLC is needed to restore. An inspection has already been done and attached to the MLS so you can see what is involved. No repairs will be made. Being sold in As-Is condition. Also included a functional 1500 sq.ft. 3 car, heated garage and shop with lift, built in 2002. Large .59 acre level lot with fenced yard, could possibly be split off.
