Zillow does not update price on restored homes until it is for sale. This home is not for sale. An Indiana Historical Preservation Home in Fowler complete with provenance from 1854. The Craftsman home was built in 1921 in the most modern (art deco) home construction of the period (The Hazelton) and cost around $2800 with the add-ons. Rejecting nearly a hundred years of Gothic and Victorian homes – the Craftsman home advanced current technologies: an abundance of windows, electricity, gas and advanced use of electric powered pumps for water or hot water heaters and plumbing with city water without giving up style and a gracious living. Nearly a hundred years later, the home has gone through major professional restoration and renovation (2014-2019) without giving up the integrity of the period or construction with which it was built. No one can beat the craftsmanship of those days. New preservation windows replaced most of the original windows; maintenance free brick in excellent condition sides the entire structure. Inside, under those lovely original 8-9 foot walls and virgin oak woodwork and floors is 21st century technology starting with new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, advanced insulation, air purifiers, steam humidifier, maintenance free exterior, landscaping and IT integrity (most rooms boast SAT for TV including basement and upstairs bathroom). In short, the home asserts the same technologies of a 2019 modern home and some. The landscaping restored the original gardens to its present lush and productive condition. The home has won several awards for best renovations of a historical home. The signature style of the kit home bungalow was the long front porch, bay windows, expanded dormers to house a second floor, a large kitchen with attached airy back porch, a modern American Standard/Kohler bathroom boasting independent shower and separate tub including a long vanity, and built in linen closet. Furthermore, bedrooms enjoyed the 1920 style of large walk in closets. Looks are deceiving – the bungalow was designed to look compact on the exterior – but don’t be fooled. Inside the home is nearly 4000 square feet of custom oak finishing, crown molding, original textured plaster walls professionably restored, elegant staircase, and formal dining room that can easily sit fifteen guests with built in stain glass china cabinets. Most of the chandeliers and wall mounted lighting is original and provenanced. All professionally restored in 2017. The water free basement boasts a jelly room, coal room (storage), work/tool shop, laundry room, a second kitchen, half bath and a huge entertainment room. The main floor can be seen at this website http://www.searshomes.org/index.php/2012/11/17/hazelton-house-of-threes-part-ii/ The second floor was an add on by the owner, and it houses a master ensuite: a large bedroom and lady’s bath with stand alone Kohler tub, a Pressing Room or Gentleman’s bathroom. Walk in closets in both bathroom and bedroom and a huge hallway that is large enough for book cases, tables, chairs and comfy living room furniture. A virtual retreat for the owners of the home. Exterior: Original 1.5 all brick garage and added on 2.5 garage with shop and loft for a total of 3 bays with shop and loft. All new concrete driveway, patio and Viking firepit. Fully landscaped perennial three season gardens, arbor, roses, kitchen garden, fruit trees, granite pathways and well maintained Kentucky Bluegrass grassy areas.
