Description

Open House cancelled! If you could own a absolutely immaculate 3 bedroom (used to be 4 bedroom) Historic home that according to the story, Abraham Lincoln had stopped by when the home was used as a stagecoach stop and bordello back in the day, would you? Well absolutely. This home has so much to offer. The home was completely renovated in 1995, new electrical, new flooring, framing, siding, roof etc. The main floor has received new flooring April 2021, the AC unit is the top of the line and was new...Open House cancelled! If you could own a absolutely immaculate 3 bedroom (used to be 4 bedroom) Historic home that according to the story, Abraham Lincoln had stopped by when the home was used as a stagecoach stop and bordello back in the day, would you? Well absolutely. This home has so much to offer. The home was completely renovated in 1995, new electrical, new flooring, framing, siding, roof etc. The main floor has received new flooring April 2021, the AC unit is the top of the line and was new in 2009. The upstairs does have a window unit that can help cool if needed. Let's talk about the garage. This oversized 2 car garage with workshop will be the dream for new owners. Sitting on 0.6 of an acre makes for a picture perfect farm type home with the white picket fence to go right along with it. If you ever dreamed of owning your own home with the white picket fence to go along with it, then look no more. Home sold as is, information pulled from various resources.
