    What's special

    Architectural characterDetached car portOriginal masonryWood floorsHigh ceilingsThree bedrooms
    Historic 1872 two-story brick building on a 0.4-acre lot in South English, Iowa. This is a rare opportunity for a builder, investor, or preservation-minded buyer to restore or redevelop a piece of local history. The building retains its original masonry, massing, and architectural character. The south facade has a structural opening that requires stabilization. The property is being sold as-is. The interior has high ceilings, wood floors, and open spaces on the first floor with three bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor. The original 1872 bricks have been independently valued at approximately $15,000 for salvage. A structural engineer's pre-assessment and stabilization plan is available to serious buyers, as well as a masonry contractor's bid for restoration. These documents confirm the 1872 masonry is structurally sound and fully repairable. The building is owned by XYZ Real Estate Company, LLC. It has public water and sewer available. The electrical is not one although the electrical box looks intact. The lot is approximately 0.4 acres with a detached car port. The property is zoned residential and is located on a quiet street in South English, just off the main highway. It is an existing beautiful building with large amounts of potential. Please write through the platform or call and ask for Justin if interested.
