My Misfortune Could Be Your Good Fortune!
This home is located in a village named Utica, Missouri which is approximately five (5) miles from Chillicothe, Missouri, The Home of Sliced Bread!! Truly where sliced bread began!!
Down Highway 36 about an hour or so, you have the home place of Walt Disney and in the other direction, the home place of JC Penney!! You are approximately an hour and a half from Kansas City.
Utica has one paved road that leads into the setting with two churches and a post office! It truly represents life simplified! Enjoy slow living from your front porch view of the rarely used baseball diamond, basketball court and large field. Your lawn is shaded by a canopy of beautiful trees with the house located on three lots.
This home and village represents 30 years of my fairy tale come true with the love of my life. Tragically, he died and sadly, less than a year after his death. people living in the home caught the little workshop behind the house on fire. The exemplary community Fire Department could not save the workshop but managed to fully protect and save the main structural integrity of the home with only the back of the house being damaged as the picture depicts. To the fire departments’ credit, the interior of the home did not experience fire damage, not even smoke damage. There is water damage of the kitchen ceiling which is also depicted in the shared pictures. Currently all utilities have been shut off and will need evaluated prior to using them.
The home was built in the 30s but my talented husband had done many improvements which included replacing the kitchen flooring with laminate, adding a room, hallway, two closets and a deck. The true gem of the house is hidden under the bedroom and living room carpet, the original hardwood floors!
You have the life changing blank canvas to invest in as you choose. LIke us, you can make your own dreams come true by creating your Happily Ever After Fairy Tale in the heart of the Midwest.

Overview
What the owner loves about this home
There was so much we loved about this home together. The setting in Utica was ideal, quiet and offering that nostalgic neighborhood spirit. The trees in the front yard were always special to me. At one time, we had a hammock and tire swing we consistently enjoyed. I used to go a bit overboard with flowers and actually won Yard of the Month one year!!
I loved the wood in the home…the hardwood flooring and the wood baseboards and framing of the very large windows. I also appreciated having a very large closet in the main bedroom. It offered ample space for storage as well as having a couple
of dressers for clothing and space to hang your clothes. My “Could do anything” husband added a closet at the end of the hallway and one in the laundry room/office which were helpful as well.
The backyard was a great size for a garden. Although we were blessed we amazing neighbors, I appreciated being able to be part of a neighborhood but with ample lawn space for us.
I could go on and on….my memories there are so comforting….
