Very rare, character 2 storey home, lots of original charm and magic in this home. Built in 1927, over 1700 sq ft on 2 floors, and still the windows(wave glass- so cool), most wood flooring, with oak and fir, fully maintained boiler with beautiful radiant heaters through out the home, fully operational wood burning fireplace, doorknobs and doors, lights and more. Even a maid sink in one of the bedroom closets. Cool with a maid chamber that once had a two burner gas stovetop right in the room. Radical! You should see the size of the closets! Big for the era for sure. Love the covered front porch. Bring your rocking chairs and favorite beverage as it is on the east side with private front yard with a gate.Imagine the cool summer nights and the early morning sunrises. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, single attached garage, 52’x125’ lot with mature trees, covered rear patio, with hot tub(included) shed and play centers. Even a full basement with work shop, storage, and shower/bath and toilet and laundry room. In almost 100 years there have only been 3 families who have lived here. Present owners have been here 38 years. BEAUTIFUL. They have loved it. The Pharmacist-Mchaffey family built the home as it was right near their pharmacy on 13 St. north right around the corner. You will love the parlor, the formal dining room with door to kitchen, the cozy formal living room, custom fireplace mantle done by the current owners, the higher ceilings, the staircase to the second floor, the large yard with room for another garage and RV parking if desired. That is a testament to how much a house could be a home. All appliances are included and more. You can imagine the family around the fireplace in winter, all listening to the radio even before tv for decades, and cranking the old telephone box to get the operator to patch you through to who you wished to talk too. Remember-not a single tree anywhere as this was the bald prairie and catch the rail cars to get around. Now see the forest all around you. Here is your opportunity. Note the gas bill reflects the heat, gas stove, gas dryer and hot water tank. Gas per month is $251 and electrical is $108 per month. The boiler heating system, though old, has been deemed in good shape and fully operational (As per DMT Mechanical written report) and could last many more years. Some buyers have concerns about the cost of eventual replacement and work involved, the sellers have lowered the price to cover these costs to reduce, eliminate, the concern. Also the wiring needs to be upgraded to present codes and the wood burning fireplace, even though used for the last 100 years or so, now no longer meets code. Rather than repair it all, the price has been lowered instead to create a grand opportunity to take advantage of a great home with rare character at a very attractive value. Possession is changed to Immediate and you can move in right away if you wish. Short notice viewing opportunities also exist. (id:45551)
