A rare opportunity to own one of Kearney's historical homes, "Keens Castle". Act quickly, this one won't last. Built in 1875 by F. G. Keens, one of Kearney's early settlers and an important figure and benefactor of the community. This home has been completely remodeled and is move-in-ready. This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home strikes the balance of modern conveniences with a nod to its original character. Special features include a turret room off the main living room that is full of natural light, perfect for plants and reading; the original 1875 fireplace surround; upgraded main floor baths, including one with a jetted spa shower; a nook off the dining area could serve as a dry bar or home office. The functional kitchen features a double oven and an area adjacent that is an ideal place for a banquette breakfast nook. There are wood floors, new carpeting in the bedrooms, spacious basement laundry with an optional laundry main level hook-up. The house is situated on a large corner lot with an expansive private courtyard. There is an oversized attached double car garage and an 8' x 24' attached sunporch which is wired for a hot tub. Other amenities include UGS, water softener, radon mitigation system, ample storage, new interior paint throughout and a built-in wall safe. Roof and electrical system were inspected in 2023 and suggested repairs completed. Roof repairs in 2023, see associated docs. "Exterior is being evaluated for repairs". "Property to be sold AS-IS."
