This 1885 Italianate home would be a perfect fit for families looking to live in a clean, quiet community. It’s 1 block from Central Elementary School and Public Library. Downtown businesses and the City Park are also within walking distance.
There are 5 bedrooms, one of which could be converted into an office or art studio. Also 1 full bath and 1 ¾ bath. Our favorite features are the 9-foot ceilings, original woodwork, and huge pocket doors! Spacious living areas allow for hosting and holiday gatherings.
The landscaped yard has ornamental chokecherry, grape vines, apple trees, cherry trees, oak saplings and mature black walnuts. A large patio provides the ideal spot for grilling and hanging out with friends. We absolutely love this house and hope someone else will love it as much as we do.
A lot of work has gone into this house since we purchased it in 2022.
• New HVAC system installed on the main level (2024)
• New Class 3 shingles that are eligible for many home insurance discounts (2023)
• Modern Romex wiring installed throughout the entire house. New 200-amp electrical breaker box as well (2025)
• New storm windows (2024)
• New soffits and gutters (2024)
• New water supply line running to the city water line (2022)
• A kitchen remodel including 1.5-inch cherry butcher block countertops and solid wood countertops (nearing completion)
• Both bathrooms have new drywall, waterproof flooring, and amenities. Upstairs bathroom has original clawfoot tub and custom-made walnut counter with Moroccan sink.
• New hardwood flooring upstairs
This house is structurally beautiful and move-in ready. It is triple wythe brick and won’t budge for another 200 years! There are cosmetic upgrades being worked on at this time and will be completed by the closing date.
