Embrace the nostalgic charm and modern comforts in this beautiful historic gem located just a half mile from the downtown Independence Square. Built in 1910, this brick home sits on a 1/3 acre double lot, and backs directly to the iconic Bingham-Waggoner Mansion and Estate. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time when you see the historic Pioneer Trails mule drawn covered wagon rolling down the block just outside your gate, on any given day.
The home offers 3 bedrooms on the upper level and 3 full baths, one on every level. There is a full unfinished walk-out basement with cellar room and full bath. The detached garage is equipped with remote opener, a loft, and two chain linked enclosures for pets or chickens attached outside the structure.
Owners have made many updates to this home over last few years which include beautiful luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level, new gas logs in the fireplace, new sink, built-in shelving, granite counters and more. All appliances are newer and stay with the home including washer & dryer. They installed a Pella front door and Pella sliding glass door in the walkout basement. The porch, driveway and walkways have been lined with a variety of perennial flowers and plants to ensure that beautiful blooms return year after year.
Whether you're drawn to the craftsmanship of yesteryear or seeking a peaceful retreat with walkable amenities, this home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Independence history.
