    A PIECE OF HISTORY WITH A STORY STILL TO TELL! Built in 1903 by H.E. Francisco, this Queen Anne two-story offers a chance to restore its architectural personality. From the moment you enter, 10-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, and a custom wood staircase and banister showcase the craftsmanship of another era. Original fireplaces, detailed woodwork, and distinctive room transitions add character you simply cannot recreate. The formal dining room features a bay window, while the butler's pantry preserves a glimpse of the home's past. An updated kitchen brings everyday functionality to this historic setting. Windows fill the rooms with natural light, and the corner lot provides an appealing setting with a detached garage. Just blocks from the walking bridge, MacNider Art Museum, and public library, the location connects you to some of Mason City's favorite destinations. Bring your ideas, appreciate the history, and make your mark on a historic home now. *PROPERTY SOLD AS IS*
