Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully updated Victorian home located on historic South Market Street, Marion's iconic brick road, just a short walk from downtown shops, restaurants, and local events. This one-of-a-kind home perfectly blends historic charm with today's modern updates. Within the past four years, the home has undergone extensive improvements, including a new roof, siding, HVAC system, tankless water heater, most windows, and beautifully restored original hardwood floors. The larger historic windows have been preserved, allowing the home's character to shine. From the moment you enter, you'll fall in love with the soaring ceilings, original doors, vintage doorknobs, detailed trim work, and timeless craftsmanship found throughout.

Enjoy peaceful mornings or relaxing evenings on the screened-in porch with low-maintenance Trex decking. Outside, you'll find a detached garage and an additional lot behind the home that has previously been used as a garden, offering endless possibilities for outdoor living. With its unbeatable location and incredible character, this property could also make an exceptional Airbnb or investment opportunity. Don't miss your chance to own one of Marion's historic gem!
