In its day this home was gorgeous. Property was originally owned by F L Maytag & wife Dena. Unfortunately it is not in its original condition and will need much renovating. However the woodwork is still original and incredible with 10' ceilings, 8 foot doors, pocket doors, leaded glass windows. You will need to be very savvy in historical renovation as the home is in need of many many repairs. But if you have the knowledge and capital it could be quite a beautiful home again. Home is being sold in as condition.
