This stately historic home at 817 Mechanic Street sits just blocks from downtown Emporia’s cafés, local shops, and favorite gathering spots. With five bedrooms, two baths, and an unfinished third floor that’s primed for future bonus space, the footprint here is incredibly hard to find. The main level features a large foyer with a grand staircase, a generous living room with fireplace, a formal dining room with a decorative fireplace and bowed window, a kitchen, main-floor bedroom and bath, and main-floor laundry. Upstairs you’ll find four spacious bedrooms with excellent closet space and a well-appointed full bath. A detached two-car garage adds convenience, and the property offers strong potential whether you're looking for a renovation project, rental opportunity, or a chance to elevate a classic home into something truly special. The current owners have benefited from the vinyl siding and soffits already in place and have re-skim coated and freshly painted the entire second floor, leaving those bedrooms in excellent condition, and the rest is ready for someone to continue the projects. Well priced with motivated sellers, this one is ready to move.
